That last paragraph suggests that The Christian Science Monitor supports affirmative action... I actually have no problem with this as it is good for new media in general.
That said, I can think of a number of conservatives who would have a problem with this...
two things:
One: Just because you are liberal in your personal politics does not mean you cannot or will not present the news in fashion that tries to present all points of view. Editorial content is another issue.
Two: If anything this underscores why the proliferation media outlets and ownership of those outlets is important. The more consolidation that occurs in the media the fewer the options. In an ideal world there would be a newspaper for all political walks of life (that has mostly fallen to magazines these days). As for Television, it's a tough one to call. Watching the big three cable and the big three networks I'd say there is a lot of coverage and none of it leans one way or the other (news story wise)... again editorially speaking it's another ball game.
