Letter: Reader’s thoughts on morning Sun

Thursday, Oct. 6, 2005 | 8:22 a.m.

That having been said, I have a couple of comments about its Oct. 2 debut. First, R-J Publisher Sherman Frederick's "welcome" column on the front page had the distinct air of a back-handed compliment. His comment, "Different views have value, even views I think are demonstrably wrongheaded," could only have been directed at the Sun. He wouldn't say that about himself, now, would he?

And so I can keep my commentary even-handed, I would like to comment on the introduction to the Sun's columnists. What is wrong with these pictures? I am sure that these are all experienced, insightful columnists with the journalistic integrity to make the Sun proud, but they are all middle-aged white men! Some diversity would also contribute to the integrity and value of the Sun publication.
