Michael Young and the op-ed page of the Daily Star. So "this person" contacted me about his/her experience writing an op-ed piece for the Daily Star. He/she told me that it was the most unusual and unprofessional experience that she/he had--and that person has been in journalism for more than a decade. I am told that Michael Young does not "edit" the pieces, but insists on injecting his political biases and right-wing inclinations in every contribution. I saw some of the email exchanges, and Young basically wants the contributors to adhere to his neo-conservative point of view. I wish I can share some of those emails with you. They are classic.
