Is Stars and Stripes a liberal rag?
Stars and Stripes is not a partisan publication. Or is it?
To some readers, there’s no doubt. Here’s “Deb,” a commenter on a story about an Army veteran critical of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump: “Seems Stars and Stripes is now leaning ‘LEFT’ with the rest of the hacks. More of that PC BS.”
Or consider this Aug. 14 Facebook comment from John Lee: “2nd article today, within a short period of time, where you look like shills for Democrats. What is it? Weekend and all the adults off today?”
I recently heard from a lieutenant colonel in Kuwait, who wrote with similar complaints. He picks up Stripes at the on-post dining facility each day and discusses the news with three other officers. Among the four, he says, three are conservative, one is liberal. The conservatives say the paper is too liberal. The liberal, he says, thinks it’s just about right. His personal view: “It is becoming crystal clear as to the direction the paper is pushing.” Left.
