LAme Times
Okie has done yeoman's work compiling the persistent bias against Christian faith at the L.A. Times editorial page. Here's his latest entry (I think, I may have missed one) of what's turned into a series. Here the previous entries. That said, I don't think this incident is so much evidence of LA Times' hostility to Christian faith as it is just more evidence of their overarching lameness.
The problem isn't so much what the LA Times published, which is a mild enough hit on Mitt Romney and the electoral process; it's who they went to for comment. I thought this loser here was a militant atheist, but he can't hold a candle to Dickinson College art professor Crispin Sartwell. Okie has quotes from Sartwell's blog that make you wonder why this dude was in the LA Times' contributor rolodex, when he advocates some rather fervent opposition to faith-based education: "we will resort not only to school board meetings but to mass executions and acts of terror such as the world has never seen. "
I expect Sartwell's just joking about that, though it's not particularly funny. His "nihilist platform" makes him hard to take seriously.
So I guess my main complaint is this: They're not going to run anything on the editorial page by Jack Dunphy, but we get editorials from anarcho-intellectual wackos like Sartwell?
The L.A.me Times: relevant.
