Just as an FYI Tulsa world is not owned by the same family it had been for years. Pretty sure they sold it and its the new elitist Dbag ownership pushing this.

You all are bashing T.W., but they do serve a very important purpose! If they are not around who will we point to and say to our children...see what happens to you if you don't eat your broccoli ?
I'm plenty cynical -- especially about those who can't or won't see simple facts. You have the evidence of two competing viewpoints being printed at the same time, on the same page, and of essentially the same length. Trying to extrapolate that into something it isn't does not enhance your position. I've not generally been a Tulsa World fan, especially under the Lortons. The new ownership has shown signs of better aligning the paper to the community while expanding the opportunity for multiple views to be published and read. If the time comes that what you predict comes about on the TW editorial pages, then we'll have evidence for which we can rightly condemn their hypocrisy on understanding freedoms and rights. I'll be right there with you in that condemnation but these columns are as fair and balanced a presentation as could be expected by either side of the question.

Just speaking for myself, about myself here, not directed at you, not about you, not sure why you're taking it personal.
Geez, lighten up Francis.
As far as things changing over at the TW is concerned, with the same old bunch of out of touch elitists on their editorial board still calling the shots and continuing their same old practice of anonymous TW editorials(which is richly ironic considering they make anyone commenting on an article identify themselves now), I don't see how anyone could claim things have changed or are changing with a straight face. Be it baby Bobby or Buffet signing the checks, it's still the good ole boy network business as usual.

OK, as lightly as possible - you quoted my post, I responded...nothing more, nothing less. I take nothing personal on the 'net since you don't know me and I don't know you.
Guess you missed the fact that two members of the editorial board got the golden handshake during the changes, i.e. called it "retirement." Jones is a one-note Johnny/Juan with his heart bleeding for the illegals so I have no use for him and I've called out Julie for her illogical baloney more times than I care to count. I also noted their recent announcement of a citizen's advisory board for the editorial staff was not very representative. No lover of the TW or their ways, old or new, here but I spoke up because the thread was becoming an echo chamber that was not reflecting reality of how the two viewpoints were presented. Nothing more, nothing less -- still not personal and putting it as lightly as possible for the various tender souls that populate OSA...HA!!!
I'm outta this one...

I am sure the timing of this and the recently featured gun control editorial is all just one big cosmic coincidence:

Nothing to see here, pay no attention to the agenda behind the curtain.

No kidding! Just keep moving... And don't forget to pay your taxes for services that you will never be entitled to or receive.
Makes me so mad!
