What does one do if one wants to read a local paper but the only option has a strong liberal slant on most news, a truly sophomoric editorial page, and a political cartoonist, albeit with talent, who routinely activates one’s gag reflex?  My approach is to briefly scan most of the news, skip most of the op-eds, glance only briefly at the cartoon, read the sports, and hope that declining circulation leads to significant change before it’s too late.  I then read The Wall Street Journal.
