Unfortunately Herald doesn't have the article available online. Here's an excerpt:

Metro Exec's Racist Smears

Ugly Secret behind Hub's Free Paper

.....At one Metro International newspaper dinner in Rome in April 2003, Steve Nylund, the head of Metro USA, told nearly two dozen attendees a joke about the sexual prowess of black males, whom he called "niggers", according to people who were there.

.....Another anecdote involves former Metro director Holger Albrecht at a Stockholm event in August 2003. Albrecht, according to Mediachannel, introduced the festivities by saying "Good evening, ladies, gentlemen and niggers."

I thought all free papers were liberal. I've never seen a free conservative paper.

Buncha "progressives," eh?

Yet another proof, if any were needed of how really vicious, racist, pathetic, arrogant and incredibly stupid the Euro-nasties really are.
What a bunch of truly despicable weasels these guys are.

Agreed. The reason why we need to think about our approach - people pick anything free. Free paper is an effective media to get ourselves heard by many citizens.
