Yeah....Maybe so....but then how many other people out there think and say the same thing. Dog is a Haoele Boy with a checkered past that has turned his life around and deserves some credit for that. All the local people in Hawaii are Bigotted because of their dislike of the Europeon invasion that Captain Cook started these many years ago. Now many have been completely displaced from their lands and birthright. The tent cities on the North Shore of Oahu are just one example. It is sad.

Thart would be about twice as many stories broken by the NY Crimes, the supposed \"paper of recorf.\"

Liberal icon John Edwards was ignored. Benghazi was iognored. Fortuantely the Inquirer is not merely a DNC newsletterr as are most of the national media outlets.

What the \"Times\" really means is \"all the news thats fit to print so long as it\'t not detrimental to our guys!\"

That's a pretty ignorant comment, unless of course, you support and fully partake in racism.
Would your website be allowed to post personal information about you, like your address and full medical history, plus a list of the names and addresses of all the men you've ever had sexual relations with? Somehow I think you'd be scrambling to take back anything you've ever said about "First Amendment Rights," which, by the way, only mean you won't be put in jail for anything you say, it has nothing to do with a private conversation, nor does it require anyone to post something you say.

The NE has been right about many, many stories. This article is just showing the major scoops they beat out everybody else with. Mike Waters revealed years ago that Michael Jackson would actually call them with something to tell a story about, so he'd stay in the tabloids, like his hyperbolic sleep chamber. They had pictures of him, in it, in his Neverland home. How did they get those? By ringing the doorbell, and saying "OK we're here Mike, what do you want us to take pictures of?" For years, they were the only ones who would print anything about the wackadoodle goings on with Scientology. All the rest of the media was SCARED of big bad 4'2" Tom thum...er Cruise.

Of course, they've been very wrong about many stories, and successfully sued several times for defamation... and of course, you know why they "beat everyone else" to the scoops... because they pay cash for news stories, something considered completely unethical by the REAL press corps.
