How did your local newspaper do in covering the CAFTA vote?
Here in Louisville, Ky, the Courier Journal buried the story in the fold of page 5 and the headline was quite small. There was no mention in the paper of how our rep (Anne Northrup-R) voted, much less the other Kentucky reps. I asked my husband what he thought of the coverage and he said he hadn't even seen it, though he had looked (this was yesterday's paper).

To add insult to injury, the Metro section had a front page, above the fold story about Northrup's co-sponsorship of a drug importation bill. The headline was HUGE and a pic of the witch rounded out the love story.

The CJ wears their "liberal" credentials proudly. :eyes:

1. I would cancel my subscript to the NY Times, but it's the only decent pape
here.

They LOVED the CAFTA vote & thanked the dems that x-er over in an OpEd.

2. I would have no idea CAFTA existed if it weren't for DU.
That's how well my local paper is doing.
