USA Today seeks "conservative" editorial writer in job posting

At least five years of national reporting or editing experience. Strong writing, reporting, editing and leadership skills. Experience covering business and health care is helpful as is previous experience on an editorial or op ed page. Looking for a conservative who ca work to achievie consensus with a diverse editorial board.

Also confirmed at http://www.gannett.com/job/jobs/news.htm

So they're not even trying to hide it anymore. And they wonder why nobody reads the newspaper.

2. Yeah, that concerned me

So that's why I went to the Gannett website to check their official job listings. It's there, sans typos.

4. Yep. It's there. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

USA Today is usually a few months behind the curve. Much of the whimsical media seems to be turning back towards the center after a three-year flirtation with the Right. Not so, the USA Today, it would seem.

Good luck to 'em.

5. No need to hide it anymore. Nobody gives a shit unless the TV tells

them in Imperial Amerika.

End of story. No shame. No conscience. No wondering about the double-standard.

No need to. There is only ONE STANDARD in Imperial Amerika. The Bushevik standard.
