I assume he's equaly offended by the "Yes on 74" add?

Well I guess I'm gonna cancel my subscription. Cause that's just....dumb.

And before you judge me, the primary reason I have a subscription is to have the Merl Reagle crossword waiting for me on my front step on Sunday mornings.

@1: it's not his job to give a shit about the R-74 campaign.

Are you offended by the "Yes on R-74" ad the Times placed?

@3
I am offended by neither ad. But Mr. Inslee's objections pretend to be on ethical grounds, and, therefore, presumably applicable to any and all political advertising they pay for. Correct?

So, will Steve Scher let you pose any of these questions to Joni on Friday, or would that be indecorous?

Pretty sure God wrote it.

Either that or it was the Dog.

oh. wait. think he shot the Dog. never mind.

What 7 said. If I still worked there, I would probably have been the poor schmuck forced to write the thing, and I was certainly not part of the newsroom. There are plenty of resources unconnected to the newsroom who can write and design the damn thing--the other questions are far more of a concern.

While you are at it Stranger take a look at the endorsement for Eaves against Maxwell in the 41st. Maxwell is one of the most successful business woman in Real Estate and prior to that in Banking and the implication in their editorial is that she has no business experience. Eaves is in fabrication and it looks like the Times is too. Evangeline Anderson, Realtor

Pretty shady stuff, but not a bit surprising since Seattle Times managed to endorse every time of teabagger Republican under the sun. From Rob McKenna the dork-vote getting Republican to Reagan Dunn the sleazy, can't be bothered to show up to work Republican to Kim Wyman the vote-suppressing let's not go crazy with voting rights Republican, to Rush Limbaugh hugging John Koster Republican, to the completely unqualified dental hygienist Republican Kristin Thompson. I am trying to get the Seattle Times here. Are they just selling out their endorsements willy nilly, or are they intentionally trying to restrict our democracy? How else can we explain Seattle Times's obsession with calling out Jay Inslee's ads for telling the truth, fawning over McKenna's retarded dance moves, and ignoring the fact that Sam Reed, our Republican Secretary of State, is doing everything under the sun to fuck with our ballots, voter pamphlets, and voter registrations?

End the state tax break for the Times.
