I cannot believe this: USA Today founder goes anti-*

http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/columnist/neuharth/2004-05-13-neuharth_x.htm

Al Neuharth, Gannett guru and founder of the evil shitty USA Today, yesterday ran a scathing anti-Bush* editorial in his flagship paper. If this was posted already, apologies for having missed it and for doubling, but this seems to me a major crack in the media wall around the W* admin.

After it was revealed that one of their big reporters had written stories that were fraudulent.

New managing editor -- maybe new editorial bent?

Here's a story on the shakeup:

That's the strongest condemnation from a MAJOR media outlet, I've seen so far....

Dubya is in deep do-do..........

Welcome to the "Saddam lovers" crowd, Al. Hope your tax returns are in order.

Wow!

I am amazed and encouraged by this editorial. Thoughts of it will keep me warm as I go to my weekly protest against the war.

..if I'm not mistaken, sometimes to the point of annoyance.

If thats the case, then this article firmly goes along with that, because, as Janeane Garafalo said on the Daily Show, a vote for Bush at this point is just a major character flaw. True balance at this point, is pointing out how terrible Bush has been for the country.

Of course, we all know what particular lifeform instinctively knows when it's ship is sinking. ;)

I've always thought of USA Today as dumb, but not so much evil. They do run a number of progressive columns. It's good to see Al come out and say something substantive in his weekly column for once.

I mean with the wagons circling around not just the WH but congress you can just sense that those fuckers will not give up the majority that easy.

but I have this fear that putting these people out of power may become violent.

I have heard many a rethug say that we should postpone all elections until the "war" is over....
We may have to "force" democracy by ANY MEANS NECESSARY!

When they all vote with Repubs on anything it worries me. But when they vote on rights and constitution and rights with repubs, I am truly frightened.

Giving away rights in case of major disaster is like a warning that there will be one.

Like molly Ivans implied in Shrub: he is incapable of recognizing his own mistakes or cleaning up his own mistakes.....
Just look at how his daddy's buddies help clean up the ARBUSTO/HARKEN mess.

to him to seduce Republican Conservatives into believing another figurehead exists.

...even more than Iraq = Vietnam has.

I LOVE this:

Maybe Bush should take a cue from a fellow Texan, former president Lyndon Baines Johnson, who also had some cowboy characteristics.

LBJ, after mismanaging the Vietnam War that so bitterly divided the nation and the world, decided he owed it to his political party and to his country not to run for re-election. So, he turned tail and rode off into the sunset of his Texas ranch.

How do you say déjà vu in Cowboyese?

"Should cowboy Bush ride into the sunset?"

As a former combat infantryman in World War II, I've always believed we must fully support our troops. Reluctantly, I now believe the best way to support troops in Iraq (news - web sites) is to bring them home, starting with the "hand-over" on June 30.

High-tech hiccups ignored (re BBV)

After four years of kissing bu$h's reptilian ass (to the point where I quit reading the rag) U$A Today runs something anti-bu$h? I know Satan is ice-skatin' right now!

:wow:
dbt

this morning. Brian lamb didn't read the entire article, and the mainpoints weren't highlighted in color as usual, just underlined by pen.
If you are a fast reader though, they showed enough of the article to read it all. Maybe, more media will wake up now.

nothing new to us here in Central Florida, and for the most part usually endorses a Dem candidate. Our cartoons certainly say a lot too, Jeff Parker. I was not surprised at Al's editorial at all, we wondered what took him so long!
