Patterico Inside the Tent
This Sunday, the L.A. Times “Outside the Tent” column, which provides a space in the Sunday Opinion section to critics of the paper, will be written by yours truly. The piece is in the final editing stages right now.
(I have dropped hints about this in a few places, but nobody except for motionview ever picked up on them.)
I have worked hard in the piece to construct an argument that will (hopefully) be convincing to people with a wide range of political viewpoints. Time will tell whether I have succeeded.
P.S. Thanks to Xrlq and Armed Liberal for taking an extraordinary amount of time to look at drafts. Their comments have improved the piece greatly.
UPDATE: I originally said that the “Outside the Tent” piece runs on the op-ed page. I should have said that it runs in the Sunday Opinion section, which is a different section run by a different editor.
…You mean, ever commented on them. Congrats to you and Kinsley both. I despair of the unrelenting one-sidedness of the LATimes’ little sister, the Baltimore Sun. Maybe it’s not too much to hope for meaningful reform at either cocoon.

Congrats, can’t wait to see it.

Ladainian (91b3b2) — 2/11/2005 @ 12:52 pmBest of luck! I am sure whatever you say will be honest and well thought out. How will I find it online?
Rod Stanton (833c82) — 2/11/2005 @ 1:27 pmCongratulations. Will you link to it?

Patterico (756436) — 2/12/2005 @ 11:11 amHey congrats. Care to share how you were chosen for such an honor?
Daniel Gonzales (f3b30f) — 2/12/2005 @ 4:59 pmI dunno. I got an e-mail from the editor of the Sunday Opinion section asking me to contribute. How he came to be aware of my blog, I have no idea.
