One thought on “Lesley Weidenbener: Why I love reading Forefront columns

  1. Quote: In fact, there are a number of readers who, for the past four years, have counted the number of pro-Trump and anti-Trump columns in each issue of Forefront and complained if they are not equal.

    Thank you for acknowledging that you read my lengthy letter about your responsibilities submitted a couple of weeks ago, Ms. Weidenbener, even though you did not grant me the courtesy of a personal reply acknowledging having received it. ‘Good to know I am not alone in holding you guys’ feet to the fire for what has been a documented imbalance to the left, by column inches and number of writers, for some time.

    ‘Nice try to justify the imbalance, though; I’ll give you that. Anyone who has been paying close attention, though, knows better. You might not tell your writers what to write (nor should you), but having the average writer’s philosophies tilt to the left posits the magazine’s position regardless of its stated mission.
