I've felt for some time that The Commercial Appeal here in Memphis is a reasonably fine newspaper. Sometimes derided for having a "slant" in one direction or another, it seems that Chris Peck (editor) endeavors to avoid the partisanship that governs the majority of other metropolitan newspapers.
Each Sunday in Viewpoint, the CA features a "Think About It" section that offers some tidbits of info that most other papers would likely avoid printing. Here are a few of the most recent that stuck out:
1 in 2: Chances that an American will suffer from a mental, emotional or behavioral disorder in his or her lifetime.
4 in 5: Chances that a U.S. conservative displays an "implicit preference" for white over black people in a psychological study.
3 in 4: Chances that a liberal does.
2 in 5: Chances that an African-American does.
