INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO POKE THEIR OWN EYES OUT WITH A FORK

This is an actual article found in Yahoo today.
I would have been nice to hear more about why this guy lost his job, y'know, the point of the story and all.
It's comforting to know that though people are starving, dying, raped, kidnapped, murdered, or swindeld out of their basic rights by a dangerous idiot with too much power, we as a nation can count on REAL journalism to keep us informed. God bless America.
As soon as Babs picks an eye booger or something, we'll be the first to know.

Streisand Cancels LA Times Subscription
Thu Dec 8, 3:43 PM ET
LOS ANGELES -
Barbra Streisand has canceled her subscription to the Los Angeles Times over the firing of the paper's liberal columnist.
The newspaper dropped Robert Scheer and several other columnists last month; Scheer speculated he was let go because the Times had tired of his politics.
Perhaps the most liberal voice on the paper's opinion pages, Scheer had been a Times columnist for 12 years. He was a reporter for the newspaper for 17 years before that.
"Robert Scheer's column, with its often singular voice of dissent and groundbreaking expositional content, has been among the most notable features that have sustained my interest in subscribing to the LA Times for many years now," Streisand wrote in a letter she sent to the newspaper and posted on her Web site.
Streisand, a well-known supporter of Democratic candidates and liberal causes, wrote that by firing Scheer the Times had reduced the diversity of voices on its opinion pages. A shortened version of her letter was printed in the Times Nov. 23. The full letter is posted on her Web site.
In a note to its readers, the Times reported Nov. 15 that hundreds of readers had written or called to complain about Scheer's departure.
David Garcia, a Times spokesman, had no comment Thursday on Streisand's letter.
