(I guess you could argue that the Saddamites trashed Iraq, but they weren't really a threat to us; they were too worried about Iran.) As a journalist, I don't have the option of flitting from topic to topic as it suits me, ignoring facts along the way. As to who "broke" McClatchy, liberalism had nothin' to do with it; most publishers prefer to print what sells, left, right or in between. No, it was a combination of the rise of free-to-read newspaper sites on the Web and McClatchy biting off more than it could chew with the Knight Ridder takeover. Y'know, that capitalism stuff. If the venture capitalists hadn't been able to get a stranglehold on KR maybe I wouldn't have to be trolling this blog and you could go back to hanging out at Rush's website.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-4546078737317411082009-02-17T18:47:00.000-08:002009-02-17T18:47:00.000-08:00..When confronted with your own lies, you lefties .....When confronted with your own lies, you lefties wad up in the crotch like a cheap suit.
