Subscribe To the Iconclast (Crawford paper)
This may be old news, but culd have slipped under the rader with all the election fuss: You may or may not know that Bush's hometown paper endorsed Kerry for president. As a result, they have been faced with massive cancellations of subcriptions and advertising.

this article was published the week after their endorsment:

snip:
When Bush was endorsed four years ago, the Gore supporters did not respond with threats, nor did Democrats when we endorsed
Reagan twice. Republicans did not threaten us personally or our business when we endorsed Carter and Clinton for their first terms.

The new mode of operation, I am told, is that when a newspaper prints an editorial of which some sectors might disagree, the focus is now upon how to run the newspaper out of business. Out the window are the contributions the newspaper has made to the community in the past and the newspaper's extensive investment in the community.
end snip

2. Shitty thuglicans - They just hate free speech, don't they?
Man, that makes me so freaking mad! At least the paper had integrity and went for Kerry.

I'm going to check out a subscription. LOL! My hubby will think I'm nuts!
