columnists

The other day I gave the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel editors a raspberry for all the space their newspaper allows the wingnut Wisconsin Policy Research Institute (WPRI) in the paper's news and opinion columns. I also razzed the JS editors for their constant, nonsensical description of WPRI as a "conservative, nonpartisan think tank." I noted that those first two words together count as an oxymoron. Lo and behold, within a work day, in its very next use, the description had been changed to omit the word "nonpartisan."
