Wednesday News: McClatchy-Knight-Ridder

Click the logo.  The K/R site has changed to reflect the new owners, and that's a good thing.  News-to-news is still a much better deal for the public than just another purchase by Wall Street Cyclops looking for that next big buck.  Stating the obvious, that logo is © McClatchy.


daily news :: :: :: buzz-it!
Well done: SWIFT was marginally public information, the administration's dancing monkeys in Congress are off base, and the NYT + LAT + WSJ performed a public service. A bit late, but still a good thing. [Boston Globe, 28 Jun '06].

Via Glenn Greenwald, who debunked the lie yesterday.

Texas Redistricing - via Supremes (5.00 / 1) (#1)
Although the justices refused to overturn the entire map, they ruled that one district in southwestern Texas violated the federal voting rights law.

Since there is no edit undo button........stay tuned! It's going to get mighty interesting here in Texas.

"SCOTUS: It's okay to screw Democrats" (none / 0) (#3)
Adam B over at Daily Kos has been breaking down this week's SCOTUS decisions in front-paged diaries.

In this one, the extended headline is "SCOTUS on DeLay's Gerrymander: It's Okay To Screw Democrats, But Not Latinos"; I haven't read it closely yet, but I'm thinking this decision is going to draw plenty of fire.

And Annatopia's post over on Texas Kaos (formerly Texas Kos, gotta change the blogroll) is generating plenty of discussion, as well.

Thanks for the Swift link. (5.00 / 2) (#2)
Yeah. NYT publishes public domain info despite the White House's request for them not to.  That gives you an idea why they went ahead with it, and why the White House didn't want them to.

It's not a national security issue.  It's an election issue.

Eulogizing Knight Ridder (5.00 / 1) (#4)
Hey, rba, CJR Daily noticed you noticing the changeover at K-R today.

Your daily posts are gems, BTW. In case anyone hasn't said so lately, you're an invaluable asset to this site - and thank you for all that you do.

Thought I'd post this flashback to the reactions of the announcement of the sale (and at Daily Kos), for those who might be interested.
