Stein tipped the balance
When I first moved here, I took (read) both Denver papers. The Rocky Mountain News won — for cartoonist Ed Stein and the other great (and frequent) political cartoonists.
Columnists Bill Johnson and Mike Littwin were icing on the cake.
No editor is perfect; and I don’t always agree with every word, but Stein deserves twice what he’s paid.

Posted by Truth on September 29, 2007 08:37 AMEd Stein, Mike Littwin, and Bill Johnson represent almost everything I despise in American left wing politics today. Far from "icing on the cake", they are to me more like rancid beef or sour milk. Isn't America great where we can have such diverse opinions on almost every topic imaginable?

You said it all. Very, very one-sided, all of them.
Posted by c on September 29, 2007 10:47 AMI am very conservative and Ed Stein is almost always on the opposite side of every issue but he is funny and often exposes an angle of observation that I missed. Keep him and anyone else with his ability to express opinions and clearly depict them as such rather than try to disguise them as news.
Posted by momma y on September 29, 2007 11:03 AMYes, Michael,
America IS great exactly because we can, and do, have diverse opinions on EVERY topic imaginable; and we are not gagged, or bound to single point of view and/or expression, by "religious", "moral", self righetous indignation, or other claptrap such as that - not yet, anyway.
