From what I've read so far, you made a brave and principled stand. There are a couple of commenters here biting at your ankles but so much for them. Keep up the good work.

Of course no leftwing blogger would ever agree to those idiotic stipulations. Again and again, the paper's owners and editorial page can be as political as they want and somehow that gets a pass but average joe and jane reporter have to play this silly game of objectivity. Again, no such animal. The PD is about as objective as Fox News is fair and balanced. My prediction is you'll never see anything like Wide Open Blog in the PD again.

I wonder if all of the other reporters at the paper, or at its parent Advance Publications, are held to the same standard?

Why should one labor at/for the PD at the healthy rate of zero dollars per word, when they can do that at home, without restriction, and without the threat of the fragile LaTourette becoming enraged at them? Face it -- it's dead. righto.

Face it — it’s dead.

A small but telling detail.
