1. It's the worst rag in the state--teabagger owned & operated

[Demeter]

2. You obviously haven't seen the New, Improved AA.COM

which posts no news at all, and merely serves as a wrapper for the commercial ads. Oh, and a few of the worst RW columnists in syndication, and the local RW crank letters to the editor. Why, they don't even post foreclosure notices!

(Also Teabagger owned and operated...)


Of course, if there were any paper that just printed the straight news, without a slant, it would be REALLY Terrifying, and maybe change would be demanded by the reading public...which explains why there's no real newspaper left in this nation...

3. So true. The place to go for right wing endorsements.
