Imagine the hue and cry from the anti-LRT crowd if the Record placed two pro-LRT opinion pieces on their e-frontpage.
It's a newspaper, folks. It's not on anybody's side.
We know that folks like Outhit don't favour LRT, but we also know that the editorial board has pretty much constantly supported LRT.
If you've got an opinion, then I'd politely suggest: forget the cesspool that is the comments section. Your words will do nothing there. Instead, write a letter to the editor. That, at least, has a chance of reaching the eyes of rational human beings.
Make it a good, and thoughtful letter. And why not write it now? It's a good time for it. I hear there's an election on.
