Today the editors of the News & Observer address Democratic Party chairman Randy Voller’s tax delinquency issues. Apparently, he owes $286,000 in back taxes and penalties. That’s not funny. That’s kinda sad.
The funny part is this quote:
The Democratic Party is in trouble in North Carolina, and Republicans understandably will make more trouble with this issue. This is a shame, not because one party is better than another, but because the public deserves two strong parties competing in a marketplace of ideas for votes.
Yes, the public deserves (at least) two strong competing parties, but apparently they do not deserve newspapers that embody the marketplace of ideas.
