They own Newsweek? We learn something new every day.

Why don't we just post from the World Socialist Web Site? Not much different from the Washington Post and LA Times. Slightly more strident but the gist of the articles are the same. Sometimes they even are first with the party line.

[Phil V.]

Yes.

He's still a potential threat level orange. . . on thorazine . . . shuffling around in paper slippers and a gown with no behind . . . no visitors

HERE is the list I post from (my own site), and a link at the top takes you to newspapers. I will track down the LA/WTP companies if I can and delete them from my list.

I thought you told me you left that darn cat in Klamath Falls, OR!!!

It would be interesting to develop a computer program to automatically rewrite news articles to preserve the "facts" and quotes from the articles, but sufficiently different to avoid copyright issues.

[PhiKapMom]

Thanks much!

Hey John! Yer gonna wear out that quill if'n ya keep signin with that disappearin ink!!!

Put a simple list, in "list" format in the posting guidlines of which pubs we have to use links and excerpts.

You guys spend enough time chasing people down already. It's nice to see you free up some time for debate once in a while like you did the other night.

Thanks. I THINK this doesn't effect me here for the most part. I didn't see any of the local papers covered.

However, If you see "Click on Detroit.com"(WDIV channel 4) as a source(rare, but happens), I'm 90% sure that has to be pulled. I think Post-Newsweek owns it.

ALL - for AP, I go to Mlive.

Hartford Courant

I hate that paper. Those are the f'ers that wrote a hit piece on us, calling the site Anti-Semetic for protesting Joe Lieberman on a Saturday.

[F.J. Mitchell]

That was Buddy the dog- we don't hear anything about Socks the cat's post White House living (or dying) conditions.

[Willie Green]

Personally I would like to see us post as little from all of these as we can.

I noticed a couple that I use very often that I didn't realize were related to LAT/WP.

I guess I'll just have to change my browsing habits to other sources.
Shouldn't be too difficult, I've been meaning to re-organize my bookmarks anyway.
I'll just purge the links from my "favorites" while I'm at it.

[Jean S]

I was talking about this Socks C., the bad kitty from Free Republic.

[kristinn]

Their loss....

[ReaganIsRight]

Don't worry about postings from the Baltimore Sun even though the LA Times owns them. The paper is not fit to eat crabs off, and they are going down the tubes.

Very few posts from the Sun, they are history.

[Phil V.]

That sombitch came home . . .

In the past I have posted articles from the Chicago Tribune. You might have to purge 6 - 10 threads I posted over the last 4 years due to that. No More! I have removed my bookmark to that web site.

The page didn't fully load the first time. WDIV WAS listed.

Oh well....the station sucks anyway.
