We get an editorial every Pearl Harbor Day, but Iraq Invasion Day is here again with no mention of it in the Courier. Maybe the editor would jump on it if we celebrated it with green beer. Or would red be more appropriate?
Update, Sunday: An anonymous commenter asks how many other papers covered this story. Consider this list to start.
For readers of the Daily Courier in Prescott, Arizona. Comment and discuss. Be nice, now.

I encourage you to share your own views and experience with me and other readers. How you do that matters, and I'm committed to maintaining a place where readers and commenters can feel safe from adolescent BS. So here's the deal:
There are two kinds of anonymous comments: those by people who have a genuine fear of revenge from the dark side, and those from darksiders just hiding to avoid accountability. You may post comments anonymously, but I reserve the right to treat anonymous comments as found items that belong to me and do with them as I see fit.
If, on the other hand, you're willing to stand by your convictions and post under your own name or a regular handle, your comments belong to you, and I'll edit them only on egregious violations of respect for others.
If this doesn't work for you, I'm sure you'll be happier somewhere else.
I'm curious steve, how many other papers do you know that have editorials on this anniversary?
ReplyDeleteSteve-
ReplyDeletethanks for the link, you certainly didn't have to do that. I went through and glanced at the first two pages and (unless I overlooked it), couldn't find ANY Arizona coverage on it, including everbody's favorite prescottenews.
i too looked at the list. it was mostly coverage of rallies and protests. dont recall one of those here this weekend.
ReplyDeleteRemember last year, when the editors commemorated the Anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing (committed by right wing terrorists) with an angry screed bashing Janet Napolitano for suggesting that disgruntled ex-vets could ever, ever perpetrate violent terrorist acts? It was horrifying. They wouldn't run my letter pointing out their terrible editorial decision either.
ReplyDeleteEven when the Courier editors are at their most thoughtless and craven, there is probably some point in the recent past when they were even worse.
