Tony Quinn = Republican

Okay, so I have to admit I often like what I read by Tony Quinn, the well-regarded, oft-quoted, co-publisher of the non-partisan "Target Book." But for crying out loud, Tony is a life-long Republican. Do you think the mainstream media could start identifying him as such?
 
In the past two weeks, Quinn penned a favorable review of the Republican power grab in the Sacramento Bee, and was cited as "editor of the non-partisan Target Book." In the LA Times, when attacking a Democratic redistricting plan, he got the same billing. And here's how NBC-TV11 listed him today: political analyst.
 
Funny that his bio for the Target Book doesn't mention that he's a Republican. Readers have no idea that the work he lists there for redistricting for the Assembly for 1981 and 1991 was for Republicans. Nor that he obviously has a confict of interest in more turnover and competitive elections as editor of a publication that thrives on such things.
 
Being on the young side myself, I had no idea he was a Republican until I was talking to Steve Maviglio the other day about one of Quinn's op-eds. He seemed startled I didn't know.
 
I'm proud to be a Democrat, and I'm sure Mr. Quinn is proud to be a Republican. Hopefully the mainstream media will let their readers know as well.
