so ...what is the motivation behind right-wing local papers?
This is a genuine local paper for Ellis County,Texas.I have included the editorial columns for your review.They are ALL rated "1"...meaning...they suck.The editorial page is a hate-baited,racist "religious" swamp.And yet,the editorial and news staff remain,unfaltering in their racist hate-speech.How do they justify that?Maybe I'm just frustrated.If you feel like it,rate and comment on some of the crap...they print comments immediately.

2. Pandering to their audience? Preaching to the choir?
That's what the right wing fish wrap in my red state town does. The editorials are just a mouthpiece for the RW groupthink.

3. An obscenely rich Repug family owns all the papers
around here I see the same stuff every day. Nothing but right wing editorials anything that embarrasses a Democrat gets the front page. The paper has an unsigned column every day pimping the conservative agenda. Every day it's the Mosque, Bush tax cuts, some kind of horror story about the HCR bill, immigration etc.
