The Clarion Ledger up to its same old tricks

[catvet]

They had a front page article in the sports section on UM football player Scott-which was a good article-and then in Veazey's section there were write ups on the football parking problems and that we finished 114th in the country in the combined sports list. Topping off the day was a write up on Anna Tadock, current Miss Mississippi, where it says she will attend MC in the fall for her Masters program, and never mentioned once in the article that she is an MSU grad. I for one understand why their circulation has fallen off severely-it is run by idiots who push a Pro UM and liberal agenda. Like most papers today, they are having problems, but how long will it be until it is a internet site only: not soon enough.

The Clarion-Ledger should take a survey of whether their buyers are State or Ole Miss fans, or heck USM fans. They could then have a "MSU version", the "Ole Miss version", and the extremely rare because they have no fans "USM version". JSU fans can't read, so why bother. Just telling DA TRUTH.

Why? Because ALL fans of each school think the C-L is "out to get my school".

And you thought I was going to say cancel your subscription.

I don't live in a place where I can get the CL, but a newspaper is a newspaper. Conservatives don't subscribe to the Times or the Huffington Post so I say that if one thinks the MSU coverage is that bad then don't get it.<div>
</div><div>But I'm a pretty passive guy, so I guess that's the most logical thing for me...</div>

report the news and stop trying to constantly put a slant on it. How many non flattering articles does Brandt write? I only get the Sunday paper for the coupons. That and the extensive sins of the past articles by Jerry Mitchell and wall to wall coverage of Kenneth I. Stokes.

if you dont want **** like that reported, dont let it happen

It's up to us to have a better football, basketball, and baseball team

Nobody bitches about the C-L when they have huge articles about us spanking Mississippi's *** in the Egg Bowl like they did after 41-27

CL in for him today since he is out of town and read it for the first time in years. What a waste. In years past I could spend a couple hours easy reading it from cover to cover and sucking down large amounts of caffeine. After reading todays version in a short period of time, I then opened my Blackberry up and started reading through ESPN, the AP news site, etc and I saw a repeat of most everything the CL had. After that, there's no way I would ever subscribe again, why pay for something you can get free elsewhere.

as you all know I am a pretty big homer, but I have always liked the Clarion Ledger. Maybe it's because it's the home town paper. But I've never thought of it as biased. Pretty even if you asked me b/n us, UM and Southern.

I wonder how it would have been treated if he had a different school in his username?

 

[Todd4State]

JSU fans still wouldn't be able to read.


I'm "getting a pass" because I used "Da Truth"- see MSU vs. JSU week last year in football.

I think OP4 is
one of the most annoying posters around

Couldn't disagree with you more. He is nowhere near one of the most annoying. He isn't even one of the most annoying Mississippi Rebel posters. Hell, just read his posts for his signature pix.

Your homerism is probably getting in the way of reason.

 

[catvet]

especially since I can purchace it in Rankin county and don't have to wear a flak jacket and strap on some German engineering to get it in the hood.

 

[MSUCostanza]

because no one ever gets shot in Rankin County. Luke Woodham disagrees.

You must be one miserable 17.

The other day there was a thread on here about the oil spill and OP4 accused a guy of probablybeing a "birther" because they had different points of view on the subject.

Yesterday OP4 gave a rant on NAFOOM about what an awful fellow Mel Gibson is for his latest tirade.His point about Gibson being an awful fellow is basically inarguable but in making his case Opythrew in that Gibson went to a church that was a "little shady" and based on some of the things he had said was anti semite.

When I pointed out that our president had attended one of the most racist churches in the US for twenty years and by his actions is definitely anti semite Opy locked the thread and called me a douche for ruining the thread. Bait cast , bait taken.

I purposefully injected politics into a thread where it didn`t belong just like he did over here only from an idealogical point of view differentthan the onehe obviously espouses and according to him I ruined a thread. Yet when he comes over here and does exactly the same thing he`s "objective" ?

Your friendship is probablygetting in the way of reason.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Cause I don't agree with him there alot of the time but he knows that.

Your damn right I feel pretty good about it when I can look in the CL website headlines in the last three days and see multiple murders and three folks shot at a 4th of July celebration in a park. You on the other hand have to bring up an incident from the last century. Go back to bitching about how you don't like visiting this site because people are ruining it for you.
