BC’s Evolution Sunday Offends No One?

Dave Astor at Editor and Publisher picks up on a non-story story that would probably escape any other reporter: Johnny Hart runs an anti-evolution diatribe in his B.C. and no paper complains. This could mean a lot of things -- that traditionally liberal newspaper readers are less likely to complain than conservatives in a way that worries editors, that there are 1200 news outlets in which this is considered non-exceptional dialogue, that years of similar commentaries have won Hart the space to do this kind of thing, or that this specific issue is no longer a hot-button topic that raises hackles by virtue of being discussed. I'm not sure myself. But it's definitely worth noting.
