Mainstream Editor Becomes ACLU Director

(Abilene, Texas) Congratulations are appropriate for Terri Burke, the former editor of the Abilene Reporter-News. She has been chosen for the position of Executive Director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Texas. Tomorrow is her first day.

Burke says her new job seems like a continuation of her work in the newspaper business.

Really?

Frankly, I concluded long ago that there is barely a breath of difference between the mainstream media-types and hardcore leftist-types and Burke's assertion of interchangeability provides confirmation.

Burke takes a wealth of experience with her to the ACLU. She previously held management positions with the Hartford Courant in Connecticut, the Dallas Morning News, the Albuquerque Tribune and the Austin American-Statesman. Obviously, her mainstream media connections will be valuable in getting the ACLU's message heard.
