This Australian news agency has the guts to criticize the so-called "royalty" of the American press. I like them!

NEW YORK –– The New York Times Co. became the latest newspaper publisher to warn of lower profits Tuesday because of the likely impact on advertising from the terrorist attacks on Washington and New York last week.

The warnings come as the industry was already facing a steep downturn in advertising. The Times also reported Tuesday that newspaper advertising revenues tumbled 17.8 percent in August compared with the same month a year ago, when revenues rose 7.8 percent.

The company said in a statement that its results for both September and the third quarter would be "adversely affected by the tragic events of last week." The company did not provide more detailed guidance.

"Right now it's very difficult to assess in the short term the impact on the advertising environment," spokeswoman Catherine Mathis said.

Other major newspaper publishers have also warned that the attacks could further erode earnings. Dow Jones & Co., publisher of The Wall Street Journal, issued such a warning Monday, Gannett Co. last week, and E.W. Scripps Co. also warned on Tuesday.

As many of you know, I help with the FreeRepublic fundraisers. It is not always easy or fun sitting at a computer for hours and hours monitoring those threads. Everyone who work the threads VOLUNTEERS to do so. We spend days and weeks helping to keep FreeRepublic running.

Ask yourself these questions:

Where is the first place I go to get my news?
Am I getting any benefit from FreeRepublic?
Am I learning from FreeRepublic?

FreeRepublic is not free. It costs Jim Robinson tens of thousands of dollars to keep this forum running. There are over 60,000 registered users on FreeRepublic and only 1,000 help keep this forum running. Those who do not have the ability to donate money could help by bumping the threads once in a while. Those who who do should be ashamed of yourselves. You are a FReeploader.

Go ahead, flame me. I don't care. I contribute to FreeRepublic, and I for one do not want to see this forum dead.

If everyone who registered donated one measly dollar a month, we would never have to have a fundraiser again.

God I love the Aussie people, great when I lived there and still great now that I am back in America. I wonder if the Australian is a Murdoch paper?

During the National Prayer Service Peter Jennings called Clinton “President Clinton”

He called Bush President Clinton. Twice.

Down with our oppressors - our elite must pay - especially the harlet media that whores itself to every left-wing cause.

Letter sent earlier today regarding Rosenberg's attack on President Bush:

Dear John Madigan - Tribune CEO & John Carroll - LA Times Editor,

I just read Howard Rosenberg's article "Bush's Image Fails to Fill the Screen" on http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-000074114sep14.story

I am extremely disgusted that you allow such trash to be printed about our Commander-in-Chief especially at this tragic time! Now, more than ever, we need to be united as a nation. Yet, apparently with your approval, Rosenberg belittles our president!

Rosenberg paints President Bush as a freckled face kid wishing he were somewhere else, unfavorably compares him to the lip-biting liar that we choked on for 8 long years, and even criticizes him for his display of compassion for the victims of Tuesday's attack!

Perhaps, both of you, along with Mr. Rosenberg, would prefer to return to that oh-so-suave president who loved the camera, except when he was cheating on his wife in the oval office, or lying under oath to the nation, or perpetrating the lengthy list of crimes for which anyone with half a brain knows he is guilty.

Perhaps you have not seen the daily polls since Tuesday reflecting the overwhelming majority of American people are more than satisfied with the way President Bush has handled this crisis since day one! Oh my! How can he be receiving such tremendous accolades from the public and the media when he is so uncharismatic? Could it be that in matters of national security, the public prefers honesty, integrity and morality rather than the polished Hollywood fictional character who lies so convincingly?

I am certain my disgust alone will not persuade any of you to rethink your positions. Rosenberg's petty attack and your approval only proves how transparently indecent you are! I do not hold out much hope for your salvation.

However, public opinion is a powerful force in our capitalist society. (Have you ever wondered why Fox News has become number one?) Your participation in this attack on our president will definitely serve to sway public opinion, as it has mine (received any cancellations yet?). Perhaps, you just like NCCI, who foolishly mandated no American flags could be displayed in their offices, may have to issue a public retraction or suffer a defeat where it counts the most to you - your declining bottom line!

Angry American


Please let John Madigan and John Carroll know how you feel too. Also, if you have any email addresses for the rest of the Fifth Column, post them here. One person can barely make a dent but an email campaign against these lefty lunatics can make a huge difference!
