Declaration of Principles
I'll provide the people of this city with a daily paper that will tell all the news honestly. I will also provide them with a fighting and tireless champion of their rights as citizens and as human beings. - Charles Foster Kane
- The first front page of The Enquirer in Citizen Kane
That quote isn't very bloggy, but I couldn't resist.
Welcome to Blue News Tribune! Why are we here?
The first reason is quite simple: I believe Massachusetts activists need a site dedicated to progressive politics.
Blue Mass Group is also a Soapblox site, but BMG's editors, all of who I respect, made the decision to give relatively free reign to some very conservative Republicans. I don't want to argue with Republicans, I want to see concerned Democrats keep the better party safe and strong by engaging in spirited, open debate. What I aspire to is closer to Blue Hampshire.
So welcome to the happy (left) medium.
If you worked on the presidential campaign, you've spent more time thinking about New Hampshire and every other battleground state in the last year than you have thought about Massachusetts. The Commonwealth needs attention.
It's time to come home. |
