Letter Writer Figures It Out – 'Chronicle' Just a Front for GOP!
RECEIVED Fri., June 17, 2005
OK kids,
It's been nearly two months since it was revealed that the Downing Street Memo proves that Bush and Blair altered intelligence to support a preemptive war in Iraq, which, the last time I checked, is an impeachable offense.
Five hundred thousand Americans have signed a petition created by Rep. John Meyers to demand a congressional investigation. Ninety-four House members have signed on as well. More than 10,000 people a day visit www.afterdowningstreet.org, and yet the Chronicle has yet to do this subject service. What the fuck is going on with you guys?! Are you a secret front for the GOP? Grow some cojones, you pansies. I expect this from Fox News, but I've always considered you guys to hold the bar a bit higher. The emerging progressives in our government are counting on you, the progressives in media, to be their rallying support while they ask the tough questions they've been too scared to ask before.
Not that I'm questioning how you rate your journalistic priorities ... after all, that was an amazing cover story about frosting the other week. Way to go guys.

[News Editor Michael King responds: We'd repeat to Mr. Dub what we've already published about the Downing Street Memo, but we pansies are too busy baking cakes – and, um, reporting on many other stories that he deems too trivial to note. Silly us. We have been attentive enough to note the difference between U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D-Michigan, and somebody named "Rep. John Meyers," who as far as we can tell doesn't exist. But when you're busy lecturing other "progressives" on their failings, you can't be bothered about such details.
