NATIONAL POST PRESENTS BALANCED VIEWS
by Chris Wright
The National Post, January 12 2009



I applaud the National Post for consistently presenting a variety of perspectives on relevant issues -- without adopting the unthinking, clearly biased status quo position often presented by other members of the media. It is refreshing to find an unflinching willingness to call Hamas terrorism what it is, and likewise reject the knee-jerk vilification of Israel. Similarly, in areas of Canadian politics, topics are handled even-handedly. This isn't to say the Post's writers' views always align with my own, and the adherence to the principles of free speech may mean enduring Colby Cosh's stupid article on abortion--but, for the sake of reading a newspaper that truly does present a balanced worldview, it is worth it.
