Did your newspaper publish Palin's piece on "The Case for Drilling in Anwar" today?

[glinda]

The Minneapolis Star and Tribune wasted near a whole front page of the Opinion section by printing an OpEd by Palin today. It consisted of fabrication of facts, repeating things that have been proven false and basically ignorant statements. Did your newspaper publish this trash also? It is a wonder that the Strib (Star& Trib) doesn't publish an OpED on the world being flat. I just want her to go away. She makes me sick to my stomach.

2. First thing I saw this morning- yeccchhhh

I usually flip right to the Strib's opinion section....

Did you notice all the right wing LTEs too? The Strib is becoming worthless.

6. What is a LTE?

I agree since the new person took over the Stib, it has totally gone downhill. Isn't he a Republican also? My guess is he was sent in to destroy the paper. They have not published a single thing from me since the change of management.

12. The ADN is onto her.

Unfortunately, our StarTribune, which was once owned by the McClatchy group and used to be a pretty good paper, was purchased a couple years ago by Avista Capital Partners, a private equity firm that specializes in leveraged buyouts. So you can imagine what their political leanings are. Two weeks ago the Strib filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and no wonder. They suck hard enough to bend light.
