(Vanity) 9/11: What's the front page of your local newspaper say? (on-line or paper)
Sept 11, 2005 | yankeedame

Posted on 09/11/2005 10:51:30 AM PDT by yankeedame

Here the lead story of the Cincinnati Enquirer (on-line):

Muslim, here and now

Today, four years after the terrorist attacks,
Muslims here say they must prove to others that
extremists don't represent Islam. The 25,000 Muslims
in Greater Cincinnati have had to defend their
religion and culture.

• What Muslim children think of U.S.
• Local Muslims take active roles in communities
• Muslim in Cincinnati

(http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/frontpage)

Oh, and in case you're wondering, the second "lead story is: "Gas drive-offs often not punished".

this is not to be interpreted as a slam against Americans who happen to be Muslim, for they are being used by the America-hating zealots in the media to spit in the face of our great land the sacrifices made by the 9/11 victims, and generations of heroes before.

This is a great land. Who the F(*&&(&* is the Cincinatti Enquirer?

San Diego Union Tribune:
Above the line is
HESITANCY DEADLY, SEEN AT ALL LEVELS (Katrina)
Below the line is
FIGHTING MISPERCEPTIONS (Sept 11 has forced local Muslims to defend their religion as one of peace)

North County Times:
KATRINA COSTS COULD EQUAL THAT OF WARS
Below the line:
ID CARD CONTROVERSY (Matricula consulars card)

There are small articles
ESCONDIDO FIREFIGHTERS KEEP 9-11 LEGACY ALIVE
TRADE CENTER SITE STILL IN STAGES OF REBUILDING

Front page of the Tennessean.com doesn't have a single word about 9/11. Not one. No pictures, not even of a flag.

Oh wait... there's one, down at the bottom next to the banner ads for used cars. It's an op-ed blaming the White House, "Promises of post-9/11 have yet to be kept". There's a link to today's AP article and another anti-war AP article masquerading as coverage for ceremonies at Arlington.

They're in full Christian-bashing mode today. The following op-ed headlines that pass as news here have been given a more prominent position and a larger, eye-catching font than the 9/11 stories at the bottom of the page...

"Calamities force many to examine their faith" and "Religious concerns often inhibit organ donations".

Thats my local paper... but I never actually paid for one.

"Gas drive-offs often not punished".

I guess that threatining sticker of the cop on the gas pumps is not having the desired effect!

"How FEMA Blew It With Inaction"

Front page of Tacoma News Tribune print edition and followed by what reads like an editorial from the NY Slimes. Go figure

Here in Savannah GA, I was going to buy a paper this morning until I glanced at both the local and Atlanta papers and didn't see anything commemorating September 11th. What a shame. I haven't forgotten but it seem as though some would like us to.

Dallas Morning News

Horns Make their point Texas 25, Ohio State 22

Post 9-11 planning in doubt (Katrina may force US to reassess its ability to confront disasters)

On the bottom half - 3 articles about Katrina and the response.

Hmmm...okay, I just noticed a small box 1/2 down with a few article titles about 9/11 that could be found on page 12 and 13.

I just cancelled my Ventura County Star subscription over their front-page articles today. They were:

"SIGHTS ON SAFETY; Photographers at potential terror targets find themselves in the cross hairs of a debate about civil liberties in post-9/11 America"

and

"Dissent to Four Year Old War on Terrorism Growing Louder".

Nothing else on the page about 9/11, and the Editorial page is just as bad.

Add to that a request for local readers to tell their stories about how military life caused marital problems or divorce (not anything positive) for an upcoming article - and I decided it was time to cancel.

Hope no one can beat those for bad 9/11 articles!

Your question made me curious, so I checked the On-line version of the Orlando Sentinel. Just a small blurb about 9-11 being remembered, and an article about Katrina evacuees.

I wasn't surprised, since my husband and I avoid the Sentinel because of its bias.

Portage County Wretched-Courier

Headline: Katrina's toll on nation is mounting

subhead (AP stories): Costs like those seen in war/ Migration unprecedented in U.S.

Local headline (and way more informative): Sun shines on spuds and art

The MSM is coming to an end. Their sick, twisted liberalism and anti-Americanism, is the poison that will finish them off. Fools, idiots --- all filed under the heading of the LEFT.

Not the front page, but the PERSPECTIVE section which comes out with the editorials on Sunday:

Baghdad On The Bayou!

..but ya gotta remember, the St.Pete Times is staffed by Bush Haters

Then allow me to slam Muslims who happen to be American: Hey Muslims who happen to be American.. Your evil lying selves are the scourge of mankind.

LOL---look closer at the byline. It "is" an editorial from the Slimes (being as there is no distinguishing difference between their editorials and their so-called "news reportage").
