      <![CDATA[I realize that print-news is a dying industry, but this situation is crying out for an opportunist to come in, start a new mainstream  (sorry Stranger, you've already got the alt-weekly thing down pat, and I salute you for it) newspaper, focus it just left of center, provide thoughtful editorials (left, right, or otherwise, as the ST can't even rise to basic competence), and drive those morons into irrelevancy (if they're not there already). A little competition is a healthy thing, you know.

      <![CDATA[McGinn is in the weird position of being a man without a country, or rather he's a man with a country, but somehow a bunch of phonies have seized the border and won't let him in.   <br />
<br />
He came into office with a single mandate, and a clear majority of the popular vote...and he has been steamrolled by the same tax-licking bloodsuckers who ignore 2/3rds majority initiatives in their efforts to line their pockets and give away the store for pennies on the dollar to their cronies and "associates".<br />
<br />
It's almost like McGinn is the only "real" person in politics and these other people are sitting around, taking up space, eating everything in the refrigerator and making a mess.   In other words, doing the exact opposite of what democracy expects!   <br />
<br />
People must wonder...will they ever leave...?<br />

The Times page when I looked and commented above said they updated the story at 3:10 and not since. Your post went up at 4:02.<br />
You still are wrong. At the very least, they reposted while you were writing and you didn't check again. And then your update was mischaracterized.

      <![CDATA[I don't really understand how anyone from The Stranger can justify criticizing another newspaper's political bias. <br />
Surely you are self aware enough to realize that the Slog is the left's answer to Drudge.<br />
<br />
What the Seattle Times is doing is messed up, but ya'll are sitting high and mighty in your crystal castle, and the cracks are starting to show. It kinda, sorta is totally undermining your credibility. <br />
<br />
I don't really understand what you're mission statement is at The Stranger, but objective news is clearly not the most important issue.
