25. This was my letter to the Chronicle
To whom it may concern,

I will no longer be reading the Daily Chronicle, nor will I recommend your paper from today forward. I read and recommend an assortment of papers and try to keep an open mind about most topics, but I have decided that I can no longer endorse newspapers that carry Ann Coulter's column. Her commentary has never been interesting, educational or balanced and I am surprised the Daily Chronicle has kept her as a columnist for so long. However, with her recent comments calling John Edwards a "faggot" I am now actively boycotting her and those who associate with her. She is a despicable, bigoted woman who does not deserve her bully pulpit with her sensationalized rhetoric and hatefulness.

Ann Coulter long ago crossed over the line of respectful commentary into odious shrieking and I hope the Chronicle will drop this columnist and perhaps regain me as a reader.
Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
xxxxxxxxxx

Please note that I am not a subscriber but I have looked at the online newspaper for farm auction information.


This is what I received from them today:

In a strongly worded editorial in today’s Chronicle I did “fire” Ann Coulter. I’ve attached a copy of that editorial. Thanks for your comments.
