Newspaper Editors On Pat Buchanan's Diminished Value

August 08, 2011 10:20 am ET by Joe Strupp


In light of Pat Buchanan's recent column that gave credence to the views of Norway mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik, Media Matters asked editors who've published his column about their view of the conservative writer.

What emerged were few editors willing to praise him and others who have either dropped his column or find his approach lacking or diminished in quality.

As we reported earlier, at least two papers declined to run the Breivik column due to its content, while others weighed in on Buchanan's decreased standing in the syndicated op-ed world. Some also criticized his writing.

"I think he's a nut job, personally," said Janie Ginocchio, editor of the Paragould (AR.) Daily Press. She said she declined to run the Breivik column, but not because of content.

2. Buchanan must be doing what the M$NBComcast bosses want

because no one should 'get away' with that level of virulent racism in any media.

Ahh...for those golden days when Pitchfork Pat held court on Crossfire and was the leading right winger in the media. He was before rushbo and lonesome roads and faux noise. He brought the crazy before anyone else...back to those nattering nabobs of negativism. What's happened is Pat's been pitchforked by those who followed in his paw prints. In his efforts to keep "cutting edge" he's gone further and further into totalitarianism and outright stupid. His "collegues" chuckle and treat him like the crazy old man in the corner...maybe they're right...his best days are long past.
