| A gentle suggestion for Rantburg readers: If, this fine Sunday morning, you find that your local / regional big newspaper has not a single story about Benghazi in the news section of either the print or digital edition -- -- send the executive editor or producer a polite email asking why not. Be polite. Point out to him/her that you are a subscriber. Note that you've been following the story from other sources, and remind him/her of the latest news. Ask how you're supposed to be informed if they aren't informing you. I've done this for my own metro newspaper and am waiting to hear from them. If you get a response from yours, post here at the Burg. I'd love to see it. Oh, and my home metro newspaper of course endorsed Champ. |

| #5 My problem is that I don't subscribe to any newspapers, so I can't claim to be a subscriber. I also don't watch TV news. Not even Fox. Although Fox is better than the others, compared to my views, even Fox is a left-wing radical, Islamist front organization. I get most of my news from the Burg. I think I am better informed about what is really going on than most people. |

| #4 The Cincinnati Enquirer carried a quarter page Ay Pee article on page 6 of the front section in today's paper -- an investigation on the ground in Benghazi which contradicted the administration's key claims in the subject, although the video was mentioned in passing. The Cinti Enquirer, a Gannet paper, endorsed Obama. |

| #3 To the WaPo Ombudsman - Sir: I thought I might see something on the front page this morning about the unraveling story about the September 11th attack in Benghazi, Libya. Other sources tell me there was a gunship overhead, waiting for the order to fire. General Petraeus says no one in his department (CIA) denied assistance, and the Weekly Standard suggests the buck stops with the President. How can you inform us of the news if you ignore major stories, which might be considered unfavorable to your endorsed candidate? Respectfully, {insert name here] |

| #1 Excellent. I know the Editor, he will remember me. He once asked if he could ride with me on Patrol car around Ponce and Blvd. Its an interesting neighborhood. But the Editor doesn't live there. He's got a nice house out on Lake Hartwell. The owner of Majic Mart hired two police officers to stakeout (off duty like directing traffic outside a Baptist Church on Sunday ) inside a Majmt at the intersection on Ponce at the top of the hill after repeated robberies killed a Korean mgr. They set up a concealed Partition and sat there with shot guns. The robberies were too repetitive. The Editor wanted to talk to someone about why the Police Officers didn't arrest the next two black dudes with guns, but just emptied their shotguns into them when they pointed their weapons at the clerk. Blew the two guys totally away right back and through the Majic Mart front glass window. Parking lot full of blood and glass. It was legal. But it was obvious that there was a "message " being sent while being "legal". The Editor wanted to talk to someone to "explain " it to him. I told him it was Legal. Nothing a broom and a hose couldn't take care of, and it was not a good idea to get hysterical about the business. Besides it was good for business. I think Maynard Jackson was mayor back then. Its been a while. Maynard was a big fat guy who wore too much Cologne the only time I ever met him in the elevator. Made a good living arranging loans after the election. MARTA loves him. We needed that rapid rail. |
