[Behind Liberal Lines]

Is the IJ owned by Gannet, or does the paper just reprint Gannett's pap?

Owned by Gannett.

Personally, I've always thought that the IJ was where they sent the Gannett reporters who were too illiterate and shallow to work for USA Today. ;-)

Gannett reporters who were too illiterate and shallow to work for USA Today.

Actually, the first managing editor of USAT was my old boss at the IJ. A slovenly, unthinking hack.
