DI only hurts itself

Reader comment on item: Letter to the Editor of the Daily Illini

As a current student, I know firsthand the DI's radicalism. However, it is not limited to the DI staff. A loyal following of equally radical readers allow the DI to continue to print what basically amounts to predispositions and uncorroborated "facts." To be fair, there are some moderates and even conservative opinion columnists but they are often harassed by readers for their viewpoints. All I can hope is that by my presence and voice, I can help pull the liberal/conservative ratio in my favor.
