whose the idiot **ping**
So is this like saying I was for it but then I was against it ... We were for Kerry, but, now that Bush is in, we support him, thus we would like to have you return to the fold.
Do these folks think we (republican's) are stupid.
The only good from this news paper, poddy training a pet or enhancing a roaring fire in the fireplace.
That jumped out at me, too. What arrogance! Someone disagrees with them, so they think they can summons that person to drop what they are doing and go to all sorts of trouble to discuss it with someone that won't even understand their point of view? They think that they are so important, that the "little people" will be thilled to get an audience with them. Is that out of touch, or what?
Always something I have wanted to do!
So which did you think was better????? ("Both" is not a valid answer!)
I canceled my subscription to the Louisville paper The Courier Journal, many years ago.
They call me every couple of months. I won't go on a do not call list because I enjoy telling them,"I won't have your socialist rag in my house."
Which one was better. I don't live near South Philly but the steaks I get in my neighborhood are just as good. Glad you enjoyed them, and ordered correctly..LOL
For those who don't know, whiz with means cheese whiz and fried onions.
LOL you beat me by a few minutes..I'm curious for the answer too!
Now go to the back of the line until youse gets it right!
My letter to the editor:
After reading the article I wanted to tell you I also stopped buying your paper. I didn't have it delivered as it is readily available where I live. The 21 days of Kerry is what did it for me. I want to read news, not opinion. We don't have state controlled news, yet, but after seeing that plus Tony Auth cartoons I give up. I have not seen one positive article about President Bush, and if there is one it's always qualified with a but.
I am a registered Democrat and voted Republican for the first time this year. If I only read your paper and not other viable news sources I wouldn't have found anything good about him.
You may not like him and disagree with his policies but we the readers have a right to make up our own minds, not to be told how to think and think like you.
I'm looking forward to reading the Evening Bulletin and hoping it's more news and not opinion based on news.
ROFLMAO!
We were using the word "with" before Pat or Geno were born. I think they stole it!
Plus, while pregnant with my son, it was all I craved. My hubby made "Pat's runs" from Chester county regularly!!
Ads, coupons and bird cage liner. OTOH, just because it is 24 hours old, it may still be relevant and local news often does not make it to the internet except if the paper has an online edition.
If you think the CJ is bad, you ought to live on the Northeastern end of the state and have to deal with the frickin Lexington Herald-Leader...it makes the CJ look like a "Right Wing/facist" paper!
I dropped it after the 2000 election. I can honestly say, that I did NOT see ONE article that was EVEN fair balanced or pro Bush in FOUR YEARS! And when Fletcher was elected...Forget about it! They have been unrelenting towards that man.
I used to pick up the U.S.A. Today, because they had pretty good sports coverage, but they too have turned into a "liberal rag"...so to hell with them too!
I live in a rural area and my wife is the managing editor of the local paper, and she made the decision NOT to endorse ANY candidates, because she feared that IF they backed either, the fallout would be tremendous.
Although she's a Democrat(I'm Republican by the way...I'm working on bringing her over to the dark side though!)she voted for and supported Bush, and her publisher is a staunch Republican who fell in on the party line. However, ALL of her writers are DEMS, and they all voted for Kerry, and were just dying to endorse Kerry.
In her editorial meeting she told them, "Kerry will probably carry this county, but it won't be because of OUR endorsement. If anything, it will be because we live in a college town with a bunch of liberals. However, the majority of our ADVERTISERS are NOT liberals, nor are they Democrats or Kerry supporters, so IF we were to endorse KERRY(since the libs/DEMS on the staff outnumber the conservatives/Rep's)it may make you feel great now, and it might even make the liberals happy now, but, the bottom line is: Even if Kerry wins, there will be at least 1/2 the writing staff on this paper come 2005, because without the AD $$$'s, I'll have to cut staff!"
They took the hint, and decided to pooh pooh the "endorsement" idea!
The local paper here can't give their papers away. We even threaten to call the police, for littering, if they throw FREE ones in our yard. They are HUGE Clinton supporters. I guess they see how far that got them. Too many of his supporters are BUMS (morally broke too).
Yup. Here in St. Louis we have the Post-Dispatch. I told a solicitor at my door I didn't want his socialist rag and the next day I found the top of my convertable slashed. Coincidence? Maybe.
Just remember, when you hear: "Pulitzer Prize", think: "Communist".
I think the reason they've resorted to this desperate a move is that they are going out of business. A newspaper needs subscribers, and a major newspaper can't live on partisans alone, even in Philadelphia.
Sounds like your wife had the right idea. The pretense of objective reporting and endorsements are not compatible.
Dave Barry is no longer writing his column, the weekly horoscope is repeating itself and becoming less amusing each week, somehow they've managed to politicize the main crossword puzzle to reflect a leftist point of view and we can get crossword puzzles of equal value elsewhere, and we can now get the TV guide off the internet (to find out what to avoid, actually) and print it out from there.
Haven't provided one cent to the local fishwrap since. HOORAH!!!
