Today's must-read newspaper editorial is from the Keene Sentinel. Here's a screenshot:

Say what you will about the fact that the Sentinel serves an area of New Hampshire which is fairly progressive relative to the rest of the state.

It doesn't change the fact that it's a major state newspaper in a battleground state, and that by putting this out there, it is channeling an emerging view that the McCain campaign has begun to sink into the ridiculous with their bizarre, crudely political antics over the past few days. When Team McCain consistently treats the electorate as if it is stoopid, it's only natural that the press, especially a press accustomed to examining the candidates up close and personal in New Hampshire, would begin to regard his candidacy as un-serious.

(And for those of you who don't know, each of the NH-Primary candidates last year sat down with the Sentinel for an extended interview.  The interviews are wonderful, and will only grow in value going forward into the next presidency and beyond.)

For example, it's where deregulating economics wizard McCain admitted he was "surprised" by the sub-prime banking crisis.

It really has an impact in the paper edition (4.00 / 2)
About 6 inches by 2 columns of white space.

I crossposted this over at dKos (0.00 / 0)
and they seem to be enjoying it.

Thanks for finding it - it's a keeper.

Does anybody have a scan of the print edition? (0.00 / 0)

I can do this easily, Doug (0.00 / 0)
but not sure whether it would constitute fair use if posted here...

Referees?

I'm not sure either (0.00 / 0)
But it seems the kind of thing for which you need the print edition to get the full effect.

I think it would be OK (4.00 / 1)
It's old enough not to affect print sales, and clearly it doesn't hurt the online traffic.

The scan should either be wide enough so that the other type can't be read, or "snipped" the way we would with a block quote. So show the open space, and maybe the editorial banner, and not the rest of the page.

Please note I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV.


[ Parent ]
I think so too - (4.00 / 1)
especially since the Sentinel has the same content on its web page, not behind a paywall.

Jim Rousmaniere, your blessing would settle it!


[ Parent ]
OK, stay tuned. Will get it together momentarily. n/t (0.00 / 0)


[ Parent ]
OK, here you go: (4.00 / 4)

Hoping this satisfies the gods of fair use, or at least the estimable Mr. Rousmaniere.


Rats. Didn't actually mean to post as a link, (0.00 / 0)
was going to edit the source I pasted, then I got interrupted and forgot.

Anyone who has the power, feel free to edit - but it's not really a big deal. I just hate loose ends...sigh.


[ Parent ]
Thank you! (0.00 / 0)
