Times-Picayune (I cancelled my subscription today)

[Bearco]

The Times-Picayune really shocked me when they endorsed Barack Obama last week, but this is ridiculous. In todays paper (ELECTION DAY), the TP published that John McCain "favors abortion rights". Being published today, obviously there is no time for people to see corrections. I have contacted the TP already and canceled my subscription that I have had for the last 8 years.

Oh my God they have stooped to a new level with that one.... I can't believe they went that far as to blatantly lie like that - there is no way that didn't intentionally happen either.

It's the Chocolate City! What did you expect?

The Times-Picayune is a big joke.

It is obvious with the last 2 presidential elections that the LEFTIST media now runs the whole country. What the hell, I cancelled the TP 5 years ago, it is a biased run, 3rd grade written, zombie run liberial media monster !!!, LOL, get all my news from Walton and Johnson, Rush Radio and maybe a little FOX News !!!, WWJW "What Would John Wayne Do" LOL

When my dad called the TP earlier to cancel his subscription, she informed him that they were inundated with calls from people, most canceling. The lady I talked with agreed with my cancellation as well and assured me she was printing my response (I also email them) and passing it along to her manager.

I was always of the mindset that a newspaper shouldn't endorse any candidate . I know it's been done forever , but to me it exposes a bias that takes away it's credibility .

A graphic on page A-5 in this morning's Times-Picayune incorrectly stated that presidential candidate John McCain favors abortion rights. McCain believes that Roe v. Wade should be reversed and that the abortion question should be returned to the individual states. The information in the graphic was transmitted correctly by the Associated Press. However, in the editing process at the newspaper, McCain's position on abortion and stem cell research were inadvertently transposed when converting the graphic into the form published in the newspaper. The newspaper regrets the error.

"Inadvertently transposed?"

Quite convenient.

I watch very little news and don't read the newspaper. There is no such thing as an honest/fair journalist. Believe none of what you hear, and half of what you see!
