I was convinced liberalism had overrun the university I used to call my own, the University of Texas at San Antonio.
While I am no longer a student there, it deeply concerns me to see the blatant journalistic bias the Paisano shows week after week after week.
But it’s not surprising considering journalism seems to have died in 2008 with their blatant support of Barack Obama and sexist double standards on Governor Sarah Palin.
A letter from Courtney McCarley gives me hope about the students of UTSA:
Surely there was a conservative staffer who also watched the VP debate that could have posted his/her view? Is it not basic journalistic integrity to provide balance within its editorials?
Your readers are not all liberal 18-23 year-olds. Some of us are returning-to-college single moms in their late 30′s with special needs children (yes, that’s me). We are the non-traditional student population and we’re growing fast.
When I read The Paisano, I wince at how little I see myself represented within its pages and I do expect more representation from a state supported school of our size and growing reputation.
I don’t believe for a second that I was the only Roadrunner willing to speak my mind, live with the hate mail and stand up for the conservative ideas I believe in. Stand up and fight.
Volunteer for campaigns in town. Lyle Larson is running against incumbent Ciro Rodriguez, who stands so far on the Left he doesn’t even know the rights enumerated in the US Constitution. (Google it.) Representative Frank Corte, Jr., a veteran of the Iraq War, is up for reelection and has served his constiuents and fought for freedom.
Noah Escamilla offers this argument:
Your comments are very biased. You don’t even try to hide it. I guess if you want to support a guy who has terrorist ties, has never written a bill that has been passed, was wrong about the surge, never visited Iraq until John McCain pressed him on it.
A guy whose own wife said she was only proud of her country when her husband was running for president (I guess getting an IVY League education is nothing to be proud of), a guy who has never been a CEO of any organization but said running a campaign is the equivalent of running a business, a man whose pastor was condemning the United States by saying “God Damn America” and “America’s chickens are coming home to roost,” a man who said that people in small towns cling to guns and religion, a man who has a socialists agenda, a man who wants to tax during an economic crisis.
There are more UTSA students like Noah and Courtney and me. Where are you? Challenge the Paisano! Stand up for what you believe in and fight the liberal bias on campus. Need help? Join the Young Conservatives of Texas and help elect conservatives who put country first, believe in the free market, and fight for you to keep the wealth you earned instead of “spreading it around”.
