To give you an example of how God-awful even the local press is, today the ops page has pieces Charles Krauthammer (neo-con Israeli-firster), Michael Gerson (Bush speech-writer of the 'axis-of-evil" fame) and Kathleen Parker (the conservative columnist of the Washington Post, formerly of the Orlando Sentinel).
And to top it off, there is a letter I will retype in full so you can see their editorial slant as well:
"Jimmy Carters efforts should be applauded"
"I read your editorial concerning former President Jimmy Carter and felt compelled to respond. Your not so thinly-veiled disdain of President Carter was apparent.
I suppose someone respected worldwide, but apparently not in his own country, for attempting to find peaceful solutions, establishing dialogue, monitoring fair elections, building homes for the poor, etc., as his post-presidency mission in life, is not to your liking.
Presidents who support preemptive war, "shock and awe" and total devastation of other countries, with little or no attempt at dialogue, probably sell more newspapers.
Umm, no they don't.
Have you seen the circulation figures lately -- in particular this local shit sheet?
This is what happens when you LIE to people, scumbags!
The local has had to cut way back on everything because of rising costs, declined advertising revenue and readership, and IT SHOWS!
:-)
The fact is that Hamas prevailed in a free and fair election in January 2006. The people spoke in true democratic fashion. Oops. Wrong guys won and the U.S. and Israel failed to recognize the outcome. The Palestinian people are not going away and unless true dialogue begins, nothing will ever be solved.
Which is the Zionists' intention, of course -- to NOT SOLVE anything and to EXTERMINATE Palestinians and STEAL THEIR LAND!!
Been going on for 60 YEARS NOW!!!
A March 1, 2008, poll taken by Haaretz, a leading newspaper in Israel, found that 64 percent of Israelis favored direct talks with Hamas. President Carter fundamentally understands this fact and also understands that the Palestinian people have very legitimate grievances that get little play in our press.
And we all know why there is an anti-Muslim bias in the Zionist-controlled AmeriKan media, right (with a particularly virulent bias against Palestinians)?!
You state that no ex-president should engage in foreign policy ventures that are directly counter to the stated efforts of the sitting administration.
But it's o.k. for Bush's dad and Carlyle to rub elbows with the Saudis, etc., and it's o.k. for Israel to blow us off on our Middle East initiatives.
And the criticism of that, local locos?
Pre-emptive-elective war, waterboarding, Abu Ghraib, suspension of habeas corpus, extraordinary rendition. Let's all just sit idly by.

That's what Americans and their SHIT MEDIA are doing!!!
:-(
I wanted to give the author credit for a very powerful and spot-on letter to the Nazi-like editors of our fine local.
How about that, huh, readers?
I'm surprised the editors didn't offer up a "Sig Heil," too!
Goes to show you how shitty even local AmeriKan papers are, readers.
How saddening to know that my local has its head up USrael's ass!!!
Hey, what would I expect from a paper that CAN'T EVEN GET the SPORTS RIGHT!!!!
