Sun Sentinel & Tribune Co. Partner with Pink Parasol Socialist

Sun Sentinel & Tribune Co. Partner with Pink Parasol Socialist

Perhaps an editor might begin a reformation in some such way as this: divide his paper into four chapters, heading the first, Truths, 2nd Probabilities, 3rd, Possibilities, 4th lies. The first chapter would be very short, as it would contain little more than authentic papers and information from such sources as the editor would be willing to risk his own reputation for their truth. The second would contain what, from a mature consideration of all circumstances, his judgment should conclude to be probably true. This however should contain too little than too much. The third and fourth should be professedly for those readers who would rather have lies for their money than the blank paper they would occupy.

Above excerpted from a Letter Thomas Jefferson wrote to John Norvell, June 11, 1807

If anyone in Sun Sentinel organization is capable of reading and comprehending the above letter written by the long departed President Jefferson, they may be able to also determine that the Sun Sentinel and other publications of the Tribune Co, can at least claim their papers have figured out how to circulate the 3rd and 4th chapters of what the President suggested would be a proper reformation of newspapers.

People of such limited mental capacity as Tribune Co employees may believe that’s pretty good after 94 years of trying. They may also have some conciliation in believing that at least they still have the cross word puzzle, but it should be pointed out that there is only truth there if the subscribers have the intelligence to fill in the squares correctly. This is highly unlikely. (My apologies Mom)

On Friday April 11th the paper ran a deceptive free advertisement for the Socialists Workers Party, publicizing an Anti War Rally at City Hall Circle in Hollywood FL. The article was entitled “South Floridians Travel To D.C. for Peace March”.

The true reason for publishing this ad in a South Florida publication was buried in the middle of the article, to promote an Anti-American Protest in a nearby town being held the following day. The ad played on the heart strings of the populace, lied about the methods the socialists use and the reasons they use them.

As the staff writer for the Sun Sentinel Robert Nolin, explains in the ad why the Socialist Workers Organization failed to charter a bus to transfer the protesters to D.C., he states “The South Florida group this week backed off that plan over concerns of a hostile reaction from police similar to what occurred Monday in Oakland, Calif., when police fired beanbags and wooden dowels at war protesters, injuring about a dozen.

"Many of the people who go with us are students or senior citizens," Iglesias said. "We just don't want to be responsible if anything happens."” Nolin’s and the other organizer of the Socialist Rebellion statements are meant to legitimize their agenda, showing they care about the safety and well being of the people. The real reason they failed to charter busses for their protest was a lack of interest of the people to participate in their sedition. This is displayed by the approval rating of Operation Iraqi Freedom with near 80% of the American people showing support for the campaign.

Some people may still question, how we know the Advertisement was in fact, not an unbiased report of the events the Sun Sentinel promoted. To answer this question lets understand, the ad was placed in the community section of the newspaper to attract the attention of local residents and not in the 1st section where a national event in the District of Columbia would normally be placed.

Examining the after the fact reporting of what should from this point on be known as the “Pink Parasol Socialist Rebellion”, we see when the Sun Sentinel reported the story of the protest in D.C. they placed it in the front section of the paper and failed to make any mention of South Floridians participation. In the next two days that followed there was no mention of the protest that was held in Hollywood anywhere in the paper, though witnesses can tell you they sent a reporter to cover it.

The “Pink Parasol Socialist Rebellion” campaign in South Florida was a complete failure. Men who participated in the protest were seen brandishing pink parasols over their heads, to the disgust of more than a few pedestrians. The people in the cars that passed the protesters did not honk their horns in support. In Fact those few who did honk, did so only to make sure the protesters saw the one finger salute. The Sun Sentinel had a perfect opportunity to report on the hypocrisy of the protesters, some of whom were seen studying socialist propaganda pamphlets and newspapers that were passed out amongst their members. Another of the indoctrinated, holding a sign which read “Protect our Constitutional Rights” was witnessed protesting next to women holding a sign that read “U.N. not U.S.”. This later example could bring no greater proof of the true idiocy and agenda in the socialist movement and the irrelevance of the Sun Sentinel by not being able to recognize a news story when it smacks them in the face.

In contrast to the anti-American protest, 50 yards away stood a group of Patriots, ready willing and able to put down the rebellion. These Pro-Americans had only 24 hours to prepare their forces in comparison to the months of planning the socialist took to form an equal force. Pedestrians encouraged and saluted those who supported the U.S. Military and the cars that passed by consistently honked their horns in gratitude and shouted out their windows thanks for standing in defense, from the pink parasol armed socialists.

Among those Patriots was a mother of a 3rd generation U.S. Air Force service man, SrA Jacob Creel stationed in Kuwait as part of the Operation Iraqi Freedom forces. The mom’s name is Holly Hardy and she was accompanied by a large photograph of her son which she held close to heart. Their was no doubt that she was noticed by the Sun Sentinel reporter, who wrote down Holly’s name in her note book and asked about her son. But when press time came around, the paper made no effort to acknowledge this relationship or the airmen’s sacrifice to defend our Nation. On April 13th the day after the Pink Parasol Socialist Rebellion, the paper ran a column identifying local residents that serve our country in the Armed Services; it was located on page three of the community section, the same section where the advertisement for the anti-American protest ran. There was no mention of Jacob Creel, who has already made several incursions into Iraq.

The Sun Sentinel and Tribune co. have partnered with the Pink Parasol Socialist, they supply free advertisement to promote their rebellious campaigns and protect them from ridicule when those attacks are victoriously put down by patriotic citizens. They look with joyful anticipation for the opportunity to report their imagined humiliation, of brave U.S. Servicemen stuck in quagmire by enemy forces, which only exist in the journalists’ minds. They attempt to embarrass proud private citizens who love their country, as they tried on April 14th.

In an article titled “Residents Display Support for Troops” the paper reported on an American Flag Relay. In the first paragraph they explain how the patriots failed to create the Red White and Blue human chain they hoped for, reaching from Wellington to Miami-Dade and continued the attack on the pride of individuals who participated in the second paragraph with this statement “The original idea -- thousands of people standing side-by-side passing a flag to one another along U.S. 441 -- fell short, but organizers pushed ahead anyway.” we can be assured the tabloid didn’t extend the same effort to promote this event, as they did to promote the Pink Parasol Socialist Rebellion and it is obvious they had no concern for the pride of the Patriots, as they did for the socialist when they failed to report their humiliating defeat in the battle over Hollywood Florida two days earlier.

For those who believe they can still find relevance because of the truth in the Sun Sentinel’s cross word puzzle, may I suggest a new technology in newspaper vending? The recycling bin it’s free and saves you from having to carry heavy stacks of newspaper advertising out with the garbage. As the Late President Jefferson pointed out, those subscribers “who would rather have lies for their money than the blank paper they would occupy” aren’t likely to attempt a crossword puzzle that would challenge their intellect before they toss the rag away.

As much as I appreciate the support from the members of Free Republic, I believe the facts of this article need to be revealed to wider audience. After all, we all know how well informed freepers are, so posting this story here is kind of like preaching to the choir.

I have sent this story to WND and troops@foxnews.com if anyone can think of other media sources that would be interested in exposing the sedition of the Sun Sentinel feel free to copy this story and send it to them.

I have saved the newspapers that back up this report and pictures of the Pink Parasol Socialist Rebellion and the original story of the events held in Hollywood Florida are located on this thread. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/892141/posts

Please understand I am not interested in any credit that would come from exposing this and my only interest is that the brave men and women currently serving in harms way are properly honored for there great accomplishments in securing are freedoms.

The SS is a pathetic excuse for a newspaper. It is essentially the Broward DemocRAT Party house organ. The editors jump to the tune of the queers, angry blacks, "greatest generation" and any victim group that comes along. I stopped reading it years ago. I know employees there who say it is ultra-PC, constant "sensitivity" and "diversity" indoctrination, etc. I don't allow it to foul my humble home...

The Sun-Sentinel (year 2001) will open its first full-time foreign bureau in Havana, Cuba. The new office will be located in Old Havana off of Plaza San Francisco and represents the only permanent presence of any newspaper in South Florida.
The bureau will be operated jointly by the Sun-Sentinel and the Chicago Tribune, which are owned by the Tribune Co., the country's third largest newspaper company. Among the company's nine other papers, the Los Angeles Times, the Orlando Sentinel, Newsday, and The Baltimore Sun.

LATimes story on CNN lies from Iraq (today)
http://www.calendarlive.com/tv/cl-et-rutten16apr16_c.story

“... but what (CNN's)Jordan described was a systematic suppression of information, rather than the bending of accepted journalistic practice to obtain stories that otherwise couldn't be told ... But given the network's intense competition with Fox and MSNBC and the overwhelming importance all three attach to getting exclusive, real-time images on the air, it is incumbent on CNN to be more forthcoming on what role its desire to maintain a video-generating Baghdad presence played in these decisions.”

Suggests to me that that The Sun Sentinel and other Tribune Co. papers could be slanting reporting about stateside stories that would ingratiate themselves to minders for their presence in Cuba and other totalitarian countries.

We’ve had similar problems with The Stuart News (Scripps-Howard) which I’ve been documenting at http://www.artfightingterror.org/media_bias_archive.html

Photos from the Hollywood A.N.S.W.E.R. Counter FReep. All photos are posted on the Free Republic Network, so bandwidth should not be a problem

A.N.S.W.E.R. activists hold up the Broward Anti-War Coalition Banner which   enabled the passing motorist to properly identify those that they were flipping off. And yes, that guy is sheltering himself under a "Womer for Peace" Pink Parasol.

The faces of "peace". Can't you just feel the Love?

Posted for your enjoyment. "Irony"

A.N.S.W.E.R. activists study their playbook, also known as the "Revolutionary worker".


Patriotic Americans Support their Troops and their Country.

Captain King was interviewed by Channel 10 News. To their credit, Channel 10 covered the event on the 6 O'Clock news and played a portion of the interview during the newscast. None of the "Peace" protesters were interviewed. I got the distinct impression that the reporter was on our side.

Holly Hardy, Free Republic's own "Proudmom", holds a picture of her USAF son, SrA Jacob Creel, who is currently serving in Kuwait.


Beautiful Patriotic American

Androgynous Code Pink Communist

The choice is clear.

The Slum Sentinel only endorsed Jeb in 2002 as their "gal" Janet Reno couldn't steal the primary.

My father lives in Boca Raton and told me that everyone in his area believes that "Jeb would have lost if Janet would have gotten the nomination." Boca Raton truly is the Upper West Side south.

Janet Reno would have been destroyed.

Now that would have been a Holy War. As an REC (Republican Executive Committee) member from Boca Raton, I can tell you we were rooting for Reno. Her numbers were way worse than McBride's.

There would have been Republicans that would have mortgaged their house to get money to donate to Jeb had Reno been the candidate.

Your welcome to send this story to anyone you think would be interested in it.

I'm not well educated on the different medias, I know I should be. I think there is somewhere on FR that has a media biased chapter but I haven't been able to find it and things are moving so fast down here I don't have the time for the resaerch this deserves.

My thanks for your support libertina

Sincerely Matthew
