Read them all. Did you look at what is being reported (bounced) to other media
sources the Oregonian coverage? And Ursula LaGuin's letter to the editor that
was reported in much depth on other sources? I have. I have also looked
closely at the headlines and the stories. I have found far more in depth
articles in places far more removed from Oregon. That is sad. I find the
Oregonian coverage disappointing. And I will continue to point out articles
that should be skipped on other media. My days of clicking the Oregonian are
now history (and buying it although that has been harder and harder lately and
much more expensive). My point to the author was in what way is an Idaho Sumo
Wrestler challenging Governor Christie part of Oregon History and Culture
coverage? And in what way is this news?

Did any of you read Carli Brosseau's story about Ryan Payne in Saturday's
(Jan. 23) edition of The Oregonian? It's an extensive portrait of a man who
clearly could be one of the more militant members of the Bundy group. And,
it's not exactly a flattering portrait.
Did any of you read the front page story in today's (Jan. 26) The Oregonian
by Luke Hammill describing the Burns Paiute Tribe's dissatisfaction with the
response thus far to the occupation of Malheur NWR ?
Did any of you read Steve Duin's Commentary column in Sunday's (Jan. 24)
edition of The Oregonian ? It's hardly supportive of the Bundys (or the Koch
Brothers).
Did any of you read Les Zaltz's story in Monday's (Jan. 25) edition of The
Oregonian describing the comments by Grant County sheriff Glenn Palmer ?
Have any of you considered that The Oregonian is a newspaper for all of the
state of Oregon. They are not in business to please only certain segments of
the state
I deplore the actions of the group that have taken over the Malheur refuge,
but I am also amazed that members of the birding community are expressing
such negative criticism of The Oregonian which is attempting to report fairly
on a very complicated chain of events. We are fortunate that they are
covering the Malheur situation so thoroughly. Despite the many forces that
have radically changed the nature of the newspaper business, The Oregonian
and their reporters have continued to provide extensive and unbiased coverage
of our state.
I have subscribed to The Oregonian since I moved to Oregon in 2009 and will
continue to do so. I may not agree with everything I read in The Oregonian,
but I recognize the value of a newspaper that serves the entire state.
