You've seen me post both articles by Journalist's, Editors OP as well as Citizenry OP from the local paper here in NorthEast Georgia based in Gainesville. Well owners similar to Murdock, probably very good friends with Murdock have bought the paper out and despite their insistance nothing would change just a couple of weeks ago, they drop the bombshell today and have fired all of the existing staff and brought in their Religious Right Groupies from Nashville Tennessee not far from the Radical Town that had an Official Ban on Gays on their books for two days.

You can see an immediate increase in the "preaching" of god and a total absence of anything remotely dissenting from the views and rule of the current "Regime".

3-21-2004 We felt it important that we find experienced, proven people who understand the role a newspaper should play in the community

Jason Taylor, a former advertising director at the Daily News Journal in Murfreesboro, Tenn., was named The Times general manager and advertising director on March 12.

Taylor said he was committed to having his staff begin to "think outside of the box."
-------------------------------
Yeah right

We think we're off to a good start with our recent hires, and the community has been enthusiastic in its support of our efforts thus far.

The addition of Jason and Alma will help us to do the things we have promised at The Times. We've already started making some changes and more will come.

We are now part of a small newspaper group that includes four papers in neighboring counties: The Times, Forsyth County News, Barrow County News and Dawson Community News. We think you are interested in what is going on in the area around you, and have started running stories from some of those newspapers in The Times instead of stories from more distant areas. In the weeks to come, we plan to add more coverage of mountain counties to our north as well.

It's been a hectic month for all of the employees of The Times, but they have pulled together like true professionals and have done an exceptional job of publishing a great newspaper under difficult circumstances.
-----------------------------------------------------------
We had a local staff. One of the guys drove by my subdivsion on his way to work everyday.

It wouldn't be such "difficult" circumstance of they weren't ripping a local Newspaper apart and turning it into a Religious Right Propaganda machine.

Examples now published below:

God can help you cope with losses in life

A few words of comfort in terrorizing times: So many times things happen in this life that we don't understand. Many things that we have no control of seem to just invade our lives and rip our world apart.

There is a loss of income, when it's the only income the family has. The company you have worked for all your life is downsizing and you have only limited skills.

Or maybe you are one of those people affected by a terrorist action.

Tell the one who has control. Tell the one who can and will help heal your devastated heart. Tell God. Tell Him how badly you hurt. Tell Him how mad you are, and just how scared you are to face tomorrow.

Want to know what He'll do? He will give comfort to help that heart. He will give direction so that you know which direction to go. He will give strength, so that when you have to face the day without that loved one or friend, you can make it. He will be right there for you to lean on and He will never falter.

You may never know the reasons for the terrible things that happen in this world. But you can have all the answers on how to deal with them by simply bowing your head and asking God for help. He will not tell you no or turn from you. Simply ask and you can find comfort and peace when there seems to be none anywhere.
-----------------------------------------------------
Oh my God, it's a shill for the Bush Regime, Rush, Hannity and CAD & Co. :Q

Oh God, please save us from the our lack of skills and the Terrorists that haunt our daily lives.

The staff that was Fired would never publish preaching right out of the pulpit.

Here's some more of the 4th Reich support from the new Owners and Staff of the "Local" paper:

Kerry's Vietnam war protests aided enemy

Sen. John Kerry told a California rally in March 2003 that he could lose the entire south and still beat President Bush in 2004.

It's even more amazing that Kerry went from Atlanta to Montgomery in April, and told Alabamans that he would "rebuild" the Democrat Party in the South.

Kerry was applauded by the Communist Daily Worker newspaper in April, 1971, for his protest efforts.

The view of Vietnam veterans as heartless killers was the legacy of the Kerry-Fonda alliance that heartened the Vietnamese Communists and caused great suffering to our prisoners.

Regardless, for eight years we turned the country over to a former war protesting "moderate" who gave away our military secrets for illegal campaign money, neglected his duty to bring terrorists to justice, pardoned his friends and walked away with the White House silver. We can't make that mistake a second time. Not in the South.

Peachtree City
----------------------------------------------------------
Local my A$$,

Peachtree City is Southwest of the City of Atlanta, easily at least 150 miles from here.
It is clear how the colluding Owners of the NeoCon Religious Newspapers are doing.
The Hitleresque Brainwashing of the Country is absolutely incredible.

Cannot believe I am actually witnessing it.

It does support how History "Repeats" itself and how stupid us HUMANs are.

We are not the "smartest" mammals on this planet, we are clearly the "DUMBEST".

Can the "NEW" Local paper be any more biased for the NEoCon Agenda? Can the Religious Right be any more Brazen?

Democrats' bill would hurt state's faith-based services

As an alternative to Gov. Sonny Perdue's Faith and Family Services Amendment which has passed the Georgia Senate, House Democrats have introduced a bill that would undermine the First Amendment rights of faith-based social service and educational organizations.

Gov. Perdue's amendment simply permits the state of Georgia to take advantage of the religious liberty decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court. In 2002, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that it was acceptable for states to make grants to individuals to secure social and educational services from either secular or faith-based organizations. Under such an arrangement, the faith-based organization receiving state funds would be free to engage in religious instruction and to hire personnel who practice the religious faith promoted by the organization.

It is striking how most of these groups demand that Georgia follow the decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court with which they agree, such as inventing a right of privacy to secure an abortion or to engage in homosexual sodomy.

Alpharetta
------------------------------
Again, Alpharetta is not "Local" to the Gainesville area either. Not as far as Peachtree City but certainly cannot be considered part of the "North Georgia Mountains" as they just promised.

Couple points of order about your post.

Bush Regime Supporters and Religious Right buy out local paper,staff replaced by "Ministers".

Distressing to you perhaps, but completely okay. If religiously devout people want to buy out a newspaper and have the funds to do so, more power to them. Devout Christians, Jews, Atheists, communists, basically any group with a viewpoint and the funds to do so has the right to buy a paper. The Constitution doesn't state that all newspapers have to have a secular POV, and there's plenty of those anyway. Just because religiously oriented people bought out a paper, that doesn't mean they're guaranteed success, and I think it's a relative longshot that they'll be successful long-term. But they're welcome to try.

Well owners similar to Murdock, probably very good friends with Murdock have bought the paper out and despite their insistance nothing would change just a couple of weeks ago, they drop the bombshell today and have fired all of the existing staff and brought in their Religious Right Groupies from Nashville Tennessee not far from the Radical Town that had an Official Ban on Gays on their books for two days.

Nashville is nowhere near the county that was seeking to pass that anti-gay statute. That county was near Chatanooga, which is about 150 miles away.

Are you saying that freedom of the press doens't exist? that a company has no right to run itself however it likes? Most local papers and other medai run more state-wide news, from time-to-time.

or are you just saying that conservative ideas are so 'dangerous' that they need to be kept away from the fragle minds of many liberals? It sounds to me a lot less like you are being opressed, and a lot more like you want to opress others who have views that disagree with you.

Cannot believe I am actually witnessing it.

It does support how History "Repeats" itself and how stupid us HUMANs are.
so what's your proposal, and what historical are you referring to? McCarthyism? worse?

I agree. No matter how ridiculous and biased it is they should have the right to say it

The dust jacket of Kerry's book, "The New Soldier," features a photograph of his radicals mocking the Marine Corps Memorial by sporting an upside down American flag. This is a personal affront; I was in the Army, and the Marines liberated Hue and probably saved my life during the Tet Offensive.
protest aids enemies


What ignorant garbage. I refer you to section 8 of the US flag code:

Sec. 8. - Respect for flag

No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.

(a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.

snip...

I think it's totally appropriate to fly the flag upside-down in protest of a war. Especially veterans who are looking out for the lives of their buddies overseas as they were. 9-11 would have been the perfect day for it, if anybody knew what it really meant.

flag code

Usually such ventures go badly for the true believers. I had a very good friend who was a Catholic Priest. He was alarmed at the direction the U.S. was going around 1965-66, so he and a group of friends purchased land in West Virginia to start a commune-sort of a Catholic version of Koinonea-but when they went to see it they discovered it was all on nearly vertical cliffs of a mountainside. :)

This group seems better prepared, except they are relying upon a certain doctrinal hegemony to remain in place. America isn't that way, not even in Georgia. Change is inevitable. They might last 5 or 10 years though.

Is a "Press" that exists to espouse a pre-determined conclusion actually the "Press"?
