The News & Record, which failed to report on two significant anti-Amendment One events in Greensboro, sends a reporter past all the vote-against signs in its home city to do an article about the strong pro-One sentiment in a neighboring county that the paper tends to cover sparingly, which story runs on the front page of the print edition and also gets posted to the top of its notoriously underpopulated website.
Early voting is almost done. Has the paper run an editorial yet on the hot-button issue of the season, or are they outsourcing opinions on local news to the New York Times?
Never said this before, but I'm seriously considering canceling my subscription to the local daily.
Our lovely paper is also running a series of anti-cyclist LTE during May, which is Bike Month. I understand the "free speech" but I like you have begun to question the benefit of the N&R.

I am with you Ed, let the Far Left Liberal Trash Rag go out of business.

for someone named sittinginthemiddle, you sure do seem to land way to the right of everything.

Sean,
It is my hope that by injecting the positions of the far right into your far left ideology will somehow bring some to sittinginthemiddle. Being close minded to your opposition will almost always reward them with victory. Everyone is not a victim regardless of how many different ways you say it.

It's a matter of perspective, Sean. Today's conservatives love to use Ragan's name though his policies by their standards today are "far left".

good luck with all that, sittinginthemiddle.

Hmmm…. I've been hanging around here a long time and I don't see any "far left" types, including me. If any of you folks are closeted Leninists, your hand.
Just because you think Ayn Rand's books are a crock doesn't make you any kind of leftist.

Oh, I actually did cancel my home delivery of the N&O today. The news in the first section is the same as I read online the previous evening. I can live without hardcopy of the rest of it and read whatever shows up in my newsreader.
But I actually bought a $10 subscription to gomics.com. Couldn't give 'em up.
