Warning: Viewing the portrait seen in the pic below can cause nausea.
Edited on Sat Jul-23-05 10:12 AM by BleedingHeartPatriot
I quit subscribing to the RMN a few weeks ago, due their editorial calling the DSM "not real news". This pic validates my position. I don't know if I can stomach the article. MKJ

edited to add: I came across this pic because there is one liberal columnist that I try to keep up with, online. MKJ

1. I HATE having to get that paper even one day a week.
Yes, I became nauseous this morning as well.

3. I still remember, years ago, when their front page pic was a
"glamour shot" of John and Patsy Ramsey. I should have quit then. MKJ

2. How many lighthouses are there in the Rocky Mountains?

The "watchtower logo" seems to indicate that rag has an agenda that's anything but journalistic. (Maybe it's supposed to be a watch turret around an internment camp, huh?) The "Fuckover The Family" advertisement on the front page? Beyond all reason or sanity - pure propagandistic BS.

4. Wow, great catch. I'm really embarrassed to admit I hadn't noticed that.

11. That's the logo for Scripps Howard.
Scripps Howard Corp. owns the paper. RMN News is their flagship publication. I used to work for them and knew RMN well.:shrug:

5. My uncle subscribed to a libertarian rag called "The Spotlight..."
...and a beacon similar to the one in the masthead on the RMN was its logo.

Creepy - it also reminds me of the eye on the back of the dollar bill.:scared:

12. Beware the Watchful Eye of Dobson!
He knows what you've been thinking, and can tell if you've touched yourself inappropriately!
