There can be no argument that our use of the word broad is anything but offensive. To use this word to describe someone of the stature of the former governor who is also the former vice presidential nominee of the Republican Party only adds to the anger that many people appropriately feel. My guess is readers pulled their subscriptions and gave them a piece of their mind. Money talks and B.S. walks.
Liberals have gone too far with the insults. They crossed the line and it's too late to backpedal now. We have had as much as we can take. People are getting furious and voting with their wallet. When a newspaper loses their readership, or an actor loses his audience, they are out of business.

Funny how all these Liberals focus so much on an ex-governor giving a speech on the other side of the world. they talk about her like she doesn’t mean anything. if that’s the case, then why do they know every word she said and waste article space on her? face it Liberals, when palin speaks, everyone listens.

Screw the apology. I want him to explain how it got in there.Just a matter of spacing. A simple press of the space bar can make all the difference in the world:

What's that in the road - a head?
The editor never made the argument that it was supposd to be "abroad" - though that was my thought initially.

What kind of fool would call a chick a broad?

I suspect it was supposed to be Abroad not A broad. But its good they apologized. An intentional accident, perhaps?

I dont believe this.
Neither do I. My bet is this so-called 'apology' was motivated by something other than genuine remorse.
To: Grizzled Bear
Based on the contriteness level of the apology, probably was intentional, or at least allowed to be printed deliberately.

But A Stupid Ugly Fat A$$ Bi#ch in Asia just doesnt have that same ring to it. Gee why didn't they really push it and write what the rest of the liberal media was calling her during the campaign...something that started with c and ended with t?

No kidding. Dames deserve better treatment than to be called broads.

Yep, newspapers are an endangered specie. Why will young people subscribe when they can get all the news they can consume for free. Once readers drop away, advertisers soon follow. Lower number of readers leads to lower ad rates or no ads by local merchants. It becomes a downward cycle.
The only buyers these people have are older readers, my age or older, who read the paper out of habit. The tactile nature of it—the process rather than the content. I have become angry at my local paper (fairly conservative one at that)and cancelled my subscription. They always call back an offer me a killer rate to renew. Death by a thousand cuts.
To: Truth is a Weapon
Likewise, when my local paper defended the local mayor’s corruption—he’s still in office, by the way—and the “good old boy” network, I quit subscribing. I won’t even take it for free.
