This should become our rally point to encourage conservatives to cancel the Slimes and other maggot infested fish wraps.
Money is too valuable these days, so why spend it on an instrument that will not only leave you feeling angry, but empty? And, why would newspapers like the Times continue as is, seemingly indifferent to the emerging growth of countless intelligent alternatives?
Where I do disagree with the writer in his claim that these maggot infested fishwraps are not liberal. He claims that it is the difference in culture.
Well, Mr/ Mallon, you and Rush and others can claim that these maggot infested fish wraps are not liberal and biased to the liberal side and it is a cultural thing.
They have that cultural bias because they are liberal. The two go together like Siamese Twins attached at the hips and all vital organs. There is no separation nor difference. The owners, publishers, editors and even pressitutes are liberal and culturally biased against us!
Regardless just cancell your subscription to the left wing biased and cultural biased fishwrap. Send half of the monthly savings to elect Simon and the other half to Free Republic for a triple win.
The lesbian former president of the LA chapter of NOW, Tammy Bruce, summed it up as the title of her new book, "The New Thought Police" (IIRC). Even she knows that these "new liberals" are anything but liberal.
Why did I cancel? I had become increasingly irritated with their coverage, which since Gannett bought them was going more and more the way of the LA paper. (Remember this was the old Pulliam paper, which was run by relatives of Dan Quayle and Steve Goldsmith.) The last straw for me was the morning after the Supreme Court decision in Bush's favor, in which they said it was 5-4 instead of 7-2, and they even had PICTURE of the justices aligned in that manner. I spoke to the managing editor who made a lame story about how the woman on the desk that night didn't get all the information right away. Since I, as a housewife, was well aware of the decision hours before their deadline, I told him that they were either lying or incompetent. I was so upset I started to cry...because that paper had been part of my entire life.
But I am glad I cancelled it. They lost a loyal subscriber and have lost a lot more of them over the past year.
I recommend that people cancel but make sure you write or speak to someone on the editorial board, not just in the subscription department. It needs to make an impact, and they need to know their actions have consequences.
I dropped all of my subscriptions to left leaning magazines and newspapers years ago. However, I still get solicitations to renew. Here is what I do to reward them for their persistence.
They all send self addressed postage paid envelopes. So instead of tossing them I send a note thanking them and explaining that they are too biased for my taste. I used to have a form in my computer to use for this. Now I don’t waste my time with that, I just scribble a note to them explaining my displeasure with their leftward biases. Hopefully this action costs them valuable resources with no return on their investment. I do my part in the fight against the Biased Left Wing Media! I hope others adopt this practice.
