In the Washington Times!

The Gitmo Quran desecration story

http://www.washtimes.com/

I never thought I'd see it. But there it was, on the rack at the supermarket. The Baltimore Sun played the same story on page A4.

2. Isn't the Wa. Times supposed to be a Pub paper?

At least that's what I hear on cspan all the time. The Pubs slam the WP all the time, but they seem to like the Times.

Is it possible a Pub paper would put a story on the front page that makes ShrubCo look bad???

[wryter2000]

4. Oh, yes

It's a Moonie paper. Usually very bad.

5. The Times is owned by Sun Myung Moon

therefore it is aka the Moonie Times. VERY RW.

3. SF Chronicle

On the front page, has a whole chronology, including Scotty McLellan telling Newsweek they have to repair the damage they've caused.

6. Maybe the Friday Night Dump got dumped ...... ya think?

Like they say in Hollywood ..... any publicity is good unless they get your name wrong.

12. The SF news

The local news (which reported the story on Friday night) made the point of when the story was released. They didn't comment on it, but they sure said it.

Of course, this is San Francisco.

7. Well, the story is there, but it's still defending the Admin!

Surprise, suprise! Here's a link to theWT story. I think it's the same one that's on the front page!

8. They can defend the admin, no one expects otherwise

but the story's out there. It wasn't buried as we had suspected it might be.

What amazed me was the positioning in the print vesion ... page 1 above the fold.

[napi21]

9. OH I agree. Maybe the plan is to get the defense out there

to beat off the opposition before they get a foothold?

[Stinky The Clown]

10. Or maybe they get their defense out there before we start our offense

Which, on some streets, is called shootin' yer wad.

They may well be starting to overplay their hand.

11. splashed by urine, my foot

I bet someone pee'd all over it.
