alt Hacker News> The Seattle Times has always been a conservative rag
The Seattle Times is Left-Center with a high credibility rating. [1]
Such a deliberate distortion of the facts renders the rest of your screed null and void.

They're looking at national politics, and on that score, yes, the ST is liberal. When it comes to local politics the Seattle Times is conservative. Your objection is a bit like people who object that the Democrats are conservatives, from a European perspective, except this is about the city itself. The current mayor is liberal, the previous mayor was conservative. They're both Democrats and would be defined as liberals by your factcheck, but that's a different rubric than the one we're talking about.

Just goes to show how loony politics are in Seattle for ST to seem conservative to people.
