Here's what happened when I gave a liberal media outlet a chance on the holiday weekend
Canada Free Press ^ | 05/30/17 | Herman Cain

I can only stomach so much, folks.

The Sunday edition of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is the only newspaper I continue to receive each week. I hardly ever read it, not even the front page headlines, because as a radio talk show host the news is usually old news to me.

But this time was Memorial Day weekend and I decided to check out the front page stories and the editorial page. The lead front page story was about the special election in the 6th Congressional District. It was the usual information, but it also reminded me of something I had not thought about.

Isn’t this a posting of an article by Herman Cain? Why is he blog-pimping?

Every dying local-city newspaper is he same. Ours here ran a biographical story about a wealthy local philanthropist, whom everyone likes and who is a real asset to the community. A very nice article - YET, the author felt it necessary to mention Trump 4 times in the article (of course, all negatively), although the man in question, as well as his biography, had absolutely no connection to Trump.

It was simply bizarre.

Funny also how Warren Buffett, the man who is such a discerning investor about “economic moats” and cash flow, continues to remain invested in these dying, declining revenue businesses.

I am convinced that the purpose in Warren Buffet being invested in newspapers is so that he can control their message. It has nothing to do with profits for Berkshire Hathaway.

‘Investing’ in dying tv and print news is nerely buying influence with the editir and thus the public.

The same reason wealthy libtards always buy a newspaper. Nothing to do with making money.

Redistricting! If the Democrats can steal this decades-old Republican seat and regain control of Congress, it gives them an advantage following the 2020 Census in drawing district boundaries to protect Democrats. It’s not just that one Democrat vote in Congress, it’s one vote closer to a majority and the ability to gerrymander congressional districts.

Congressional districts are drawn by state legislatures and not Congress. Cain should know that, he being a talk-show host and former presidential candidate and all.

No sir Mr.K. Sean Anthony is a Canada blog poster. He never replies, just trying to get hits. It may be a robot.

“Isn’t this a posting of an article by Herman Cain? Why is he blog-pimping?”

Because you can post the entire article here and don’t have to direct someone to another site to read the article.

I tried autocorrect for awhile and it was forever changing my words and adding text after a period.

I am starting to wonder (tin foil hat on) what is going on. One word the spellchecker is completely incapable of learning is “freeper”.

When you type a word your spell checker doesn't recognize, it will usually give you the option to save it to your browser's dictionary. Just click on that, and your spell checker will always recognize it.
