Talk:The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead

Untitled
I noted on the "Grand Forks Herald" page, you include that "The editorial viewpoint is centre-left." In the interest of fairness, should it not be included that the Forum's viewpoint is center-right? As far as I know, more people consider the Forum conservative than consider the Herald liberal. What's the criteria here?

Glad to have your input. I didn't want to simply state the editorial viewpoint, I wanted to include paragraphs to give people some background on the paper. I could have put up "The editorial viewpoint is conservative.", but as you can see with the articles on the Grand Forks Herald, Minot Daily News, and Bismarck Tribune, I also included some brief details on the histories of the papers. Without that same kind of information on the Forum, I didn't feel comfortable taking the leap.

Also bear in mind that there are plenty of articles still left to be made in Category:Newspapers of North Dakota, and only the four largest papers have been given articles so far.

Before I close, I would also recommend registering a username and ending your comments with the proper signature code ( -~ ) before contributing on the Talk pages, as it tends to be confusing to users.

-Is there some factual basis for stating the editorial viewpoint as center-right? This seems like pure conjecture. Sorry for not creating a user name and following convention; I just noticed this and thought it should be looked at. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.129.126.116 (talk) 21:01, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
