This is the main story on the cover of the Seattle Medium:
fa636a08faf2.jpg “Former Seattle Medium Intern Weds In Belize.” Blacks are quick to criticize white-owned newspapers for promoting or practicing racism, but slow to criticize black-owned papers for promoting or practicing stupidity.

um, why isn't it news?

a lot better than most of the lies we get from the Reds in DC nowadays.

at least we know it's a real wedding ...

Charles, please.

You know you test our patience when you fail to realize that today's most important news item for Seattle's black community was that wedding.

Sharpton railing on "Gangsterism" comes nowhere near that.

Yeah, that oughta sell a few extra copies, all right.

Charles,

This story is over a week old. Don't you have better things to do than to bash folks? I guess not

Seattle is very racist. White European Males are the cause of all the wars and problems in the world. Germany and Spain are to blame for Israel's problems today. Every white male has privleges. No other race is oppressive.

An attractive couple..would they be on the front page if they were not?

Not of The Seattle Weekly because they are black.

oh, whatever. I used to work at a local paper in Trail, BC, where a nice wedding pic in a paper with that much circulation would always sell a few extra copies.

not everyone can be the Stranger - heck, look what happened to the Seattle Weekly - cut them some slack, Charles!

Don't do it Charles! You'd be playing into the culture of victimization that perpetuates the disempowerment of the perfectly capable! Let them fuckers at The Medium have it!

Like you're gonna let Trail, B.C. set the standard.

Interesting comparison. I never heard of Trail, but I was wondering how the two readerships might compare, and looked this up:

population of Trail, BC: 7,575
black population of Seattle: 47,549

Of course a better comparison would be actual circulation... but I'm too lazy to look that up.

God Damn! There are more black people at a Pro Hockey game than in the entire city of Seattle!

Charles points out a lame headline with an equally useless post. I point out the irony with an unimportant comment.
The cycle is complete.
Hooray blogosphere.

Charles, if you're so disenchanted w/ the state of the black press in seattle, you should offer to work as an editor for one of their papers. You'll be able to accurately represent the grievances the black community has with seattle and write pretentious film criticism.
