Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD:

In the span of one week, Two men died. The First Lester Maddox, was one of the names that became synonomous with Racism in the 60s, but to read his obit in the NYTimes, you would not know it. OF course it took half of the Obit to get around to the fact that he was of course a Democrat.

In contrast, Americas longest serving Senator Died Last night, A man of many accomplishments he lived to be 100, Stormed the Beach at Normandy taking Nazis prisoner at the point of the Pistol, winning the Bronze star, and fathering children IN HIS Seventies.

What did the headline in the Times read..."Strom Thurmond Foe of Integration Dies at 100

The author????? Adam the clymer Clymer.

Giving Credence to the credibilty of The President and the Vice President, the manis truly a major league @$$hole.

Adam Clymer took some gratuitous parting shots at Senator Thurmond in his article, but the editors at the NY Slimes demonstrate that they are major league clymers themselves with the headline: Strom Thurmond, Foe of Integration, Dies at 100

To paraphrase FReeper cschroe, from his letter to the NY Slimes, do you think the Slimes will demonstrate journalistic consistency in their headlines announcing the passing of notable democrats with headlines like these?

'Robert Byrd, Ex-Klansman, Dies' or
'Edward Kennedy, Womanizer and Drunkard, Dies' or
"Bill Clinton, Impeached President and Disbarred for Perjury, Dead"

On another note, the clymers at Planned Parenthood are already kicking off their Anti-Bush campaign.
