That's not really true. Several of their contributors lean right. A few of one of these contributors' articles:
Affirmative Dissatisfaction: Affirmative action does more harm than good
Lessons from the Iron Lady: A tribute to the most polemic figure of post-war Britain
General Petraeus Should Not Have Resigned: What if all cheating men quit their day jobs?
Now it is certainly true that conservative writers are the minority, just as conservatives are a minority in the college as a whole. But the Crimson doesn't discriminate on the basis of political orientation when approving writers.
I feel like those articles are very weak counterevidence to my argument. They're more like token, limp-wristed right-leaning contributions that the Crimson has to trot out every now and then to give the impression that they're impartial.
