The Collegian could lose $50,000 in advertising revenue from local business owners who threatened to pull their ads after the profane editorial ran. The newspaper already has been forced to cut staff salaries by 10 percent and print in black-and-white instead of color.

Campus liberals already are paying attention. In a Friday editorial, the Collegian took a dig at the fledgling publication.

“And to the CSU College Republicans — we would like to congratulate you on your decision to start a competing paper,” said the editorial. “Good luck. We’re sure Fox News will be very kind to you when you alienate the liberal college population.”

Good for them! Hopefully the Ram Republic can pick up some of that advertising.

"local business owners who threatened to pull their ads after the profane editorial ran."

This rocks! Allow me to share the lame excuse offered up by the Denver Post to try to hand wave away McSwane's apparent low intelligence indicated by a severely limited vocabulary.

Why bother with 250 words when one expletive says it all? Denver Post
That's what Diane Carman says of J. David McSwane's "Taser this. F--- Bush" editorial. "McSwane is the future of journalism. Smart. Confident. Audacious. Opinionated. Brief. Very brief. He writes tight. Short sentences. Readers can finish an editorial in three seconds. Its impact lasts weeks."
