DUers, could you do me a favor, I want to see if I am right

Could you go to your local paper and in today's edition, tell me what page Hurricane Rita's coverage starts and which page as the first article on the Iraq war? I'm curious.

Here in Tucson in the Arizona Daily Star (a shit paper like none else)

Rita: Page 1
Iraq: Page 13

On note: Crashcart's surgery. . .page 3.

1. Already canned the paper, BUT

I know the Portland Press Herald is fairly liberal... there wasn't a whole lot on Rita. STILL stuff on Katrina, which I guess is okay...

8. the ONLY reason I haven't canceled my paper

and I am still not sure I won't when it is time to re-up is the simple matter of "know thy enemy". I am ambivalent because I hate supporting such a lousy corporate rag but it is the only option I have to get any local news; that is unless I want to watch car wrecks and house fires on the teevee screens.

5. Hurricane 2/3 of page one. NO MENTION whatsoever of war in ENTIRE paper.

American Idol gets better coverage than the war in this birdcage liner.

9. Guess I got out of that one

The Star would be my daily as well. :hi:

BTW, it used to be a pretty good paper (didn't they all) but have you ever seen the Repulsive?

11. You and SammyBlue

have it good, Kali. I'm south of you and have to read the Star AND the Green Valley News.
On edit: No Saturday G.V. News (and Kyl Report).

13. Oh man, the Arizona Crap-ublic?

That isn't even good enough to wipe my ass with.

10. Sorry..........

I cancelled the Cleveland "Pain" Dealer long ago. Too biased for me.

12. Let's see...

AG-N says: Page 1 - Rita, local gas supply, natural gas prices. Page 3 - new levee break in NOLA plus earned income rules for 2005 tax season for those affected in LA and MS (page 2 always has "usual" stuff). Pages 4 through 8, all Rita. Page 9 - Cheney surgery and US soldiers killed in Iraq.
