Yes, but the other comments were listed as if they were all part of the same post. MSM-style misleading. :-(

Okay, NB blog updated to show first comment from McClatchy employee but the others might not be. Check it out.

Those comments from McClatchy employee "Laith" are pretty damning in themselves. Still unknown if other comments were from McClatchy folks.

If McClatchy’s stock is down that much, perhaps they will soon be out of business. Then I will cheer.

The McClatchyites are giving the Obama ball-lappers at The Ossociated Press a run for dibs on cleaning The One's arse...

Does that mean I can toss shoes at journalists and say it’s a matter of free speech?

MSM is dead in our home and my company. They are liars. They can’t be trusted . Everything one see’s hears or reads these days they have to double check and research in depth to get the facts. At a great cost to my personal time and income in some arenas. That was what journalism promised me for the price of my newspaper or periodical etc .....truth. The papers each have an opinion page yet the entire paper is filled with just that .....opinion versus simple facts so the reader can determine what happened. No more what where when why etc just propaganda from presstitutes paid by polidiots.

Thus we take extra effort to not allow our dollars, be they company funds or personal funds, to fall in the hands of such seditious lying trash. Internet, AM radio and torrents are sources of free news and reads. Gutenberg project has tons of free e-books on all manner of subjects be they fiction or non fiction , school books etc .......

We can kill this form of MSM by withholding what they seek .....cash ! As well write “E” & Snail Mail to the advertisers and tell em the rag they advertise their product in is dishonest and lies so I can’t trust that their product is not a sham as well.....

Vote with your dollars. Know where every dollar you spend winds up and make every attempt to keep it from the socialist SOB’s ! Not always possible yet we try. If everyone just tried it would kill their cash cow IMO.

That is just what we do .......does it work ? Who knows, but I don’t support them with my money if I can help it.

Stay safe PJ, Hope you had a peaceful and restful Christmas....BTW did ya get rid of that spyware ?

These BDS sufferers may be clinically insane. They’re certainly not worthy of holding a position in the media that requires any objectivity, as indicated by their infantile glee at an out of control reporter assaulting the US president.

Did Iraq ever say thanks for being freed from the rule of a brutal dictactor?

Many have. But of course it does not fit the template of the MSM, so it gets little coverage. An example is the work of the Iraqi sculpture Kalat.

The MSM instead celebrates the shoe throwing idiot because he hates the U.S. and what it represents almost as much as they do.

Their hate to President Bush has destroyed them. Eventually a lot of these hate Bush journalists will be unemployed.

The important lessons to learn from the story of the show thrower is that we have utterly defeated our enemies and now they are reduced to throwing shoes at us, that is all what they can do. The fool shoe thrower took full advantage of the freedom and democracy we brought to Iraq when we liberated them from Saddam. He knows that his family will be safe and not wiped out from existence unlike what Saddam used to do when he did wipe out the extended family of anyone who said a single bad word against him let alone throw a shoe at him and thus end up killing hundred of thousands of Iraqis including some of the show throwers family.

McClatchy is an anti-American propaganda organ. To a degree so is the Associated Press. these people will gleefully report anything that is detrimental to America. They are the scum of the earth.

That figure is grossly, grossly overinflated.

every death for the past 10,000 years is attributable to Bush it seems.

Great news BUMP!
I hope McClatchy dies. Slow, fast, I don’t care. I just want the thing dead and I want everybody who works for McClatchy to lose their homes.

That figure is grossly, grossly overinflated.

Nonetheless, the jounalism community believes it.

Which really says a great deal about the size of their mental faculties, as opposed to the size of their political agenda.
