Conservative columnist resigns after
Kentucky paper refuses to run op-ed
on publication’s liberal bias

Daily Caller, by Alex Pappas

Original Article

Posted By:FlyRight, 2/18/2013 6:11:50 PM

The lone conservative columnist at the largest and most influential newspaper in Kentucky says he quit writing for the paper because editors are refusing to publish his opinion piece calling the publication out for its apparent liberal bias. Columnist John David Dyche told The Daily Caller Monday that he’s written for the Louisville Courier-Journal for about a decade and his column had never been rejected until last week. Dyche says he quit after Pam Platt, the paper’s editorial page editor, left him a voicemail on Feb. 11 making it clear they wouldn’t run his piece about the paper’s

Well, let´s see ... maybe they can get Maureen Dowd´s column to fill Mr. Dyches´ spot.

Evidentally "free press" doesn´t include questioning those in the "free press."

I grew up on the Courier Journal. It was biased toward the Dems, but it wasn´t nasty. Then it changed and changed for the worst. I finally quit reading it and dropped my subscription after I simply could not stand it any more.

I quit on my local "newspaper" many years ago. Their editorial page was totally leftist. They felt they were somehow above the fray and hated anyone who they thought worked hard enough to make a buck more then them. They bought most of the new stories from national sources or the New York Times. I hope most of them go bankrupt.

It´s fine for a publication to lean left or right and refuse to publish a screed that runs against the grain. It´s also fine for a columnist to quit said publication.

Hopefully, Mr. Dyche will be picked up elsewhere. At the very least, one hopes he will get his article out on the internet via myriad blogs soon.

The left wing biased editor the The Record of Bergen County is not only biased but ignorant as well.

Pathetic lap dancer to the leftists.

Mt brother wrote for that paper for thirty years. He is the most rabidly liberal person I have ever known. He tolerates no disagreement with his liberal orthodoxy. Makes for very uncomfortable family gatherings. He can go off on a loud rant at the drop of the hat.

The Courier Journal is owned by the Gannett Corp, started by Al Neuharth, a left wing Marxist. Gannett has bought out many papers across the USA. It´s how they are taking over the mean spirited Marxist propaganda.

Pam Platt was subtly transferred from the Florida Today to the Louisville Courier-Journal because of her spiteful Marxist actions.

Best way to stop the Marxist propaganda of any paper is to stop the subscriptions, stop buying from advertisers and stop reading it. Several liberal publications are hurting and they should be hurt right out of publication. Some of them area already laying off staff, we should help them along.

The Courrier Journal is an awful, mean spirited left wing rag. When the call and ask if I want to take advantage of some intro rate I kindly tell them I would not take their paper if they gave it to me. The paper itself gets thinner all the time, they are running it into the ground...

This article links to John David Dyche´s excellent column, which this useless left-wing Kentucky rag refused to run.

We in Dallas are eagerly awaiting the demise of the relentlessly left-wing Dallas Morning News, a paper which adheres to Holy Liberal Orthodoxy even as their audience expresses a clear desire for something else. I´d like to list the dwindling DMN subscribership numbers, but I believe they are still banned from quoting subscriber rates, as they were caught lying to their advertisers about those very numbers. (Hey, what´s one more lie from a leftist rag, right?)

The Burlington (VT) Free Press is another Gannett owned rag that leans so far to the left that it´s a wonder it hasn´t toppled over!! It´s like the printed version of PMSNBC. Even the weather report is biased. We canceled our subscription years ago and rarely pick up the Sunday paper for the ads.

The Obama administration’s sudden plunge into scandal territory has two aspects — the actual and the political. The first, and most important, has to do with what actually happened. Why did the administration promulgate a false account of the terror attack on Benghazi? Why did the Internal Revenue Service target conservative groups for special scrutiny? Why did the Justice Department act in an unprecedented fashion toward The Associated Press for publishing details of a foiled terror plot the White House was planning to discuss openly the next day?

The birthday party will be modest and understated, in keeping with the man. Sir Nicholas Winton is 104 tomorrow and naturally some of his children will be there to wish him well. Not only his blood offspring but those known as Winton’s Children – the ones he saved from near-certain death three-quarters of a century ago. Nicholas – Nicky – Winton hates to be thought of as a hero, hates being compared with Oskar Schindler or Raoul Wallenberg, but he nevertheless deserves to be mentioned in the same breath.

Speaking at Ohio State University earlier this month, Barack Obama urged students to pay no attention to those paranoid types who “incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity.” Oddly enough, in recent days the most compelling testimony for this view of government has come from the president himself, who insists with a straight face that he had no idea that the Internal Revenue Service had spent two years targeting his political enemies until he

Two Metro-North trains collided in Connecticut during the evening rush hour tonight, causing at least two dozen injuries and massive delays on the New Haven Line, authorities said. The accident happened about 6:10 p.m. just east of the Bridgeport-Fairfield line when a westbound train from New Haven derailed and collided with an eastbound train on a section of track near a viaduct that is under renovation. Photos on the Connecticut Post´s website showed people being taken on stretchers to waiting ambulances, and first responders from Fairfield, Bridgeport and nearby

The Clinton Scandal Playbook and Benghazi

The punditocracy is pulling out its collective hair, wanting to know why there have apparently been multiple layers of cover-ups in the evolving Benghazi story. An early scandal from the Clinton administration, the so-called “Travelgate” scandal, may be instructive. Recall that in the 1993 firings of employees at the White House Travel Office, a determination was made early on by the new president Bill Clinton and then-First Lady Hillary Clinton that the Travel Office workers, who served at the pleasure of the president,

The tragedy of Benghazi, where a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were killed, seemed a cut-and-dried story in the days after a mob attacked the State Department’s mission in eastern Libya.From President Obama on down, the recap was simple: A crowd of demonstrators angry over an obscure YouTube video that denigrated Islam’s Prophet Muhammad spontaneously stormed the complex.The State Department’s top spokeswoman assured the public that security for fallen Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and his aide Sean Smith was “robust.”

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups. (Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part
