PORTLAND'S DISGRACEFUL NEWS PAPER AND ITS 'EDITORIAL BOARD'

By Alina Harway
In the weeks since, we’ve conducted research into the editorials that came out under Lukens’ direction and have found that it’s even more extreme than we originally thought. On every issue that matters to most Oregonians, Lukens and the Bulletin editorial board took a far-right position that is completely at odds with the Oregonian’s readership.
Our five-part series examined Lukens' far-right direction of the editorial page on issues important to Oregonians.
Part 1: "Drill, Baby, Drill" off the Oregon coast and in Alaska.
Part 2: Kicking Working Families While They're Down - for instance, by lowering the minimum wage.
Part 3: "Down with taxes! (Unless you are Poor)" because the working poor—not the rich—should be making more sacrifices.
Part 4: Attacks social security, because why ask more from the richest when you can shift the burden onto our senior citizens instead?
Part 5: No Friend of Public Schools but a fan of overcrowded classrooms and failed charter schools.
