This is obviously a place for Oregon Dems — little viewpoint diversity. Maybe call it “The Oregon Democrat Way”.

Hi Robby, thanks for reading. This newsletter is co-authored by a Democrat and a Republican. If you have stories or articles that you think should be included, please let us know. In terms of the op-eds we publish, we try to include many voices (for example, we have actually published more pieces from Republican candidates for governor than from Democratic candidates for Governor). If there are folks you think could provide more viewpoint diversity, please encourage them to reach out.

Yes I’ve heard that but it lacks credibility. Anyone remotely familiar with the *science* behind political bias can easily see the site broadly suffers from selection, framing, priming, and anchoring biases from The Left. Maybe get a real Conservative involved — better, someone who supported Trump.

At a time when Oregon politics has been captured by an authoritarian Leftist groupthink, we need much more pointed **disconfirmation**. You’re NOT doing that.

Kevin gives lip service to wanting such diversity. It’s time to put up or shut up.

(Btw. I am not “on the right”; just tired of the bias.)

Hi Robby, Alex Titus here -- I help with content collection for the newsletter. I served in the Trump Admin and for President Trump's political group in DC. Thanks for your feedback and we'll certainly work on getting more center-right and conservative perspectives for The Way. If you have someone in mind, do let us know.

Also, you should check out our Oregon Bridge podcast which offers a variety of perspectives from elected officials, activists, and candidates -- we have folks from all ranges on the left and right. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-oregon-bridge-podcast/id1554965473

Best,

Alex
