As well as not noticing any particular political bias in published news stories, I can't say I've seen any evidence of this in the letters page of the Observer either.
As posted earlier, there's regularly letters printed from a local communist, as well as supporters of other political parties.
Until he discovered Accy Web, our very own true blue Jaysay, seemed to have a letter published in the paper every other week.
In the late seventies and early eighties the letters page featured many letters from one David Riley, a local National Front activist.
This didn't mean the paper supported his extreme right-wing views. As they also printed letters of reply, challenging his neo-Nazi diatribe, including letters from myself.
The last letter I wrote to the Observer was unpublished.
There are many reasons why this could happen. Lack of space being the more probable likely explanation. Rather than some editorial political conspiracy.
Happily I got over my disappointment, and got what I wanted to say off my chest, by posting my letter on here.
