I've never called anyone a libtard, and I think the Oregonian leans "left", not sure if it's "liberal", but maybe if liberals don't like it and people on the "right" don't like it then maybe it's sort of balanced...? I don't know I don't really read it anymore.
I don't know who owns it anymore, but I seem to recall that it was owned by a very conservative group (as nearly all media is, which is why the larger idea of a liberal media is such a joke) at some point in the recent past. But because of their largest audience, they had to hedge and "appear" liberal. But to say they represent a liberal viewpoint is utterly laughable.
I don't really care about what viewpoints they like or not, but I looked it up. The Oregonian is owned by AdvancedPublications.
The Oregonian has always been corporate conservative. It isn't as bad in terms of being cultural conservative as many papers around the country, but it never was and never will be a leftist paper. I agree they have to sometimes try to appear progressive, because, Portland.
I didn't realize it had been sold. Thanks for the info.
