The Seattle Times (a.k.a. the Blethen Family Newsletter, a.k.a. the Seattle Fishwrap) started this whole thing, in an even worse manner, back in 2000, when the editorial department was finishing its endorsement of Al Gore, only to have publisher Frank Blethen overrule them and order them to endorse Dubya instead. For them to be patting themselves on the back this time around, without acknowledging that they started the problem, is the height of chutzpah.

Seattle Times was the conservative newspaper before it became the only newspaper. I rarely read it.

I used to deliver the Seattle Post-Intelligencer back in high school. I kept back a paper every day for myself and read it from front to back over breakfast. I was one well-informed high school student.
