Andy Harris: Rodricks’ unfair attacks on me reveal bias | READER COMMENTARY
For more than a century, The Baltimore Sun promised Maryland readers to “deliver the truth every day” and to publish stories “written without bias” so readers can make informed decisions about important episodes and events in our community. Sadly, for many years, opinion pieces written by Dan Rodricks have not “delivered the truth” and, in fact, have been written with extreme bias. With his frequent partisan rants, his columns call into question the veracity of your mission statement.
To highlight just one of many examples, the column Dan Rodricks recently published criticized the public event my office held examining the effects of offshore wind industrialization on our economy and our marine environment, and he even went so far as to label it “too much negativity” (“Dan Rodricks: What’s with the negative current running through our electric future?” Jan. 20).
His column excluded the fact that my office invited not one but three proponents of offshore wind, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and U.S. Wind to provide testimony at the event. If his columns weren’t so one-sided, he could have informed Sun readers that the foreign-owned offshore wind company refused to make an appearance at the public event to explain to skeptical Maryland residents why they shouldn’t be concerned with offshore wind companies industrializing their coast.
Based on my count, Rodricks has written more than 49 columns in recent years specifically about or negatively mentioning Maryland’s only Republican member of Congress. He has also posted on social media derogatory claims directed at me or the office I hold more than 80 times. Rodricks isn’t a columnist — he’s a left-wing partisan.
If The Baltimore Sun is truly concerned with restoring its journalistic reputation and is willing to restore the paper to one that is truly “without bias,” perhaps you might start by dealing with the blatant bias of Rodricks — or perhaps balance things by hiring a partisan Republican columnist to become equally obsessed with U.S. Rep. Steny Hoyer, U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen or other Democrats in Maryland’s delegation to Congress.
The Sun has proud history in Maryland. I hope it returns to that reputation with its new ownership.

Local leaders in Md. unite for Juneteenth Heritage Festival
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore spoke about the difference between liberation and freedom, in the opening ceremony of the 2026 Scotland Juneteenth Heritage Festival, in one of Montgomery County’s oldest historic Black communities.
In Cabin John Regional Park, Moore was joined by local dignitaries, including descendants of William Dove, the first formerly enslaved man who purchased 36 acres of farmland in 1880 for $210, located in what is now Potomac.
Moore said that ending slavery was an important moment of liberation, celebrated by Juneteenth, “but liberation is not freedom.”
Even after liberation, Moore said that “the idea of freedom became something that still remained elusive.”
When Dove purchased property in the Scotland community, Moore said that economic empowerment was a step toward freedom.
“The freedom to be able to own more than you owe. A freedom to be able to pass something along to your children besides debt. A freedom to be able to walk freely, knowing that you should be able to feel safe in your own community, in your own neighborhood, and in your own skin,” said Moore.
