I tend to agree. Coulter is beloved by many conservatives because, well, she's blonde and attractive.
She's a lightweight (no pun intended).
Of course.... Liberals never identify themselves as liberals.
But it all comes down to circulation. If the Star's circulation improves, then it was a good decision.
Somehow, though, the fact that Mr. Stoeffler says they were conservatives suggests to me that he's a liberal. I don't know how that's ultimately going to play in Arizona.
ah, I know the kind - it sounds like the milwaukee journal / sentintel. Cicrulation keeps dropping, they keep adding liberal columinsts and journalists, they run specials, and they can't figure out why fewer and fewer people subscribe to their trash.
It's a paper that has (had) larger subscriber numbers, but their narrow attitude turned it into a small-time operation.
Of course they did! They have emails from 1973 to prove it!
Equal legs? Ann has gams that go to the sky (a little thin perhaps, but very long).
So if three liberals called in and said, "Doonsbury sucks." he'd remove that too?
What's the phone number?
They are just doing the same thing the NY Times does to justify their agenda.
Step 1) Carefully craft your OP-ED section to reflect a majority of liberalism and support of democrats. About a 90% liberal to 10% conservative ratio.
Step 2) Now report the news heavily biased towards the left.
Step 3) The liberal readers get a feeling of self-affirmation that their agenda is what the majority of america believes and supports.
I've read her shrill books and articles. I'm not impressed.
Her writing is of the same level as, say, Michael Moore and Al Franken. Does she make some points? Sure. But she is just the ideological other side of the political coin from those guys.
In other words, only a fool would do so.
"No more subscription."
"We need to understand and satisfy a broad audience. "
Translation: We need to pander to certain political pressure groups and manipulate the thought processes of those too naive to recognize propaganda for what it is.
Fortunately, talk radio, FOX News and the Internet have made major media journalism like this irrelevant, superfluous and most of all, exposed for what it is.
I wonder why he didn't decide to drop any liberal columnists for a faux sense of balance. Weren't there any liberal columnists these conservative complainers wanted off those opinion pages?
Please join me in taking a moment to write Mr. Stoeffler and let him know he's either been duped by libs posing as conservatives, or he's a lib posing as an honest publisher & editor.

The Lady Ann is rather soft on the Left. I refer to them as pond scum sucking morons who have a lesser right to breathe God's clean air than a typhoid carrying weasel.

One more typical lie by the left. The liberal editor hears from other anonymous lefties posing as Republicans that they really hate Ann Coulter.
...about to get smaller.
IMO any thoughtful person would swap Snow for Coulter in a heartbeat regardless of what they think of the editorial director's politics.
