Stealth Bomber Controversy
The Times has shown a lowly bias against the Stealth bomber. Conrad’s cartoon on July 21 is the latest case in point. The cartoon degrades the superb technological achievement of the B-2 by comparing it with the hokey Batman.
The text of Conrad’s cartoon slammed the cost of the B-2.
Why does The Times insist on showing the B-2 expense as a negative? Surely The Times knows that most of this expense will provide income for thousands of its readers.
One would think if The Times feels it has to take a biased position it would be in favor of building the B-2 according to the original production plan, if not because the B-2 will provide a powerful defensive weapon then because it will assure the continued flow of aerospace/defense dollars to the benefit of Southern California citizens.
