Conservatives start right-wing school newspapers which "cannot compete in the finer points of writing and editing with better-funded campus dailies" (emphasis mine). Because editing is an unnecessary expense when you have passion.


Also they name their conservative paper the "Gaucho Free Press," for an added touch of irony ("gauche" being French for "left").

Madison's had The Badger Herald since the 60s. Started as an effort to counter the stifling liberal presence on campus. Blah blah blah. You have never heard whining from over-privledged self-righteous rich kids with a victim complex until you've heard it from RIGHT WING college students. Their biggest story of the semester's been why all the multi-cultural groups and gay rights groups should be defunded.

Sadly, in reflection of the real world, the other campus paper tries to keep in the center while the herald creams them from advertising revenues. Luckily, in the microcosom of campus, the left wing groups can fill the void of left wing news by getting the word out directly.
