Check out the new Texas Iconoclast
Edited on Tue Nov-30-04 11:53 AM by wryter2000
www.iconoclast-texas.com

I just received my paper copy of the 11/17 Texas (Crawford) Iconoclast. Articles include "Dems cut coat tails, how Democrats defeated GOP mythology in Bush's backyard," "Voting machine...or slot machine?," "Raising the roof: Will the debt ceiling be debated?"

A column by the publisher says, in part:

"The newspaper has witnessed a fairly volatile few weeks following the publication of an editorial that resulted in numerous Crawford residents canceling subscriptions and pulling ads.

"To make up the difference in subscriptions, citizens from throughout the United States have subscribed, and as of this writing, the circulation of The Iconoclast has grown to about 2,400. It had been approximately 920 prior to publication of that editorial." (the one endorsing John Kerry)

<snip>

"Since many of the local avenues have been closed off to the newspaper, at least for the time being, The Iconoclast will now focus more sharply on investigations and political insight pieces...

<snip>

"Let me offer my appreciation to everyone who has subscribed and placed ads in the newspaper during the past few weeks."

We done good, gang. :bounce: You can subscribe online or call 254-675-3336. It's $45/year.

1. God knows we need some investigative journalism done. I had
been wondering what was going to become of them after the election.

2. I loved seeing the ads from
small businesses in Kentucky, Alaska, Florida, California, Washington State....and dozens of individuals and couples just buying ad space to do it for free speech.
