In a response to an Idaho Statesman editorial taking Democrats to task for not fielding congressional candidates, former Democratic congressman Richard Stallings returns fire in an op-ed by saying the Statesman editorial page has turned jellyfish:

I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when I read this recent editorial headline in the Idaho Statesman: “Wanted: Candidates for Congress in Idaho.” So I decided to offer my opinion. From a candidate’s perspective, a more appropriate headline would be: “Wanted: A Capital City Newspaper That Gives a Damn About Politics.” Or, as it applies to the Statesman: “Wanted: An Editorial Board with Backbone.” The Idaho Statesman, the state’s largest and potentially most influential newspaper, has turned itself into an arm of the political establishment. On the opinion page, it sees, hears and speaks no evil – to incumbents, that is. In the last election, this jellyfish of an editorial board endorsed every incumbent running in a contested race, except one. The Statesman did not have the courage to take a stand on the state treasurer’s race, where the incumbent was neck-deep in allegations of mismanagement. More here.

Question: Do you read editorials in the Idaho Statesman?
