Newspaper ignores Obama victory: Terrell Tribune under fire
The Terrell Tribune, serving Kaufman County, Texas, ignored Barack Obama's victory in the U.S. presidential election, preferring, instead, to reserve their cover story for Jackson's victory over Schoen in the local county commissioner race.
The Obama presidential victory, however, wasn't pushed back to page A2, say, or A3, it wasn't included at all.
The decision has led to a protest outside of the Tribune's offices.
"That's what I wanted, a keepsake," said Lera Duncan, who was among the protestors. "And this was very disappointing to me."
Bill Jordan, the publisher of the newspaper, was unmoved by the protest, and was unapologetic:
"We run a newspaper, not a memory book service," he said. "We covered the local commissioner's race. We thought that was more important."
Well, everybody. I don't encourage harrassment. But..... Here's a way to get in contact with the Terrell Tribune, incase you have a question or two to ask.. :)
