Banned by Greenwich Post!!

| According to Hersam-Acorn publisher Thomas Nash (email address: tbnash@acorn-online.com), I've been banned by Greenwich Post! Here's the sequence of emails leading to my journalistic defenestration. After I submitted the letter to the editor regarding Shays' CO status, which is published here at myleftnutmeg.com, and which I sent in before the deadline for letters to the editor, I received this from assistant editor Sara Poirier: "Dear Mr. Goldrick, That really ticked me off. Here's my response to assistant editor Poirier and editor Kristan Zimmer: Dear Sara, That is complete and utter bullshit, and you, your publisher and your paper should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves. This is a letter to the editor; it's not a news article. So there is no reason whatsoever to require it to be held out in order for Shays to submit a reply. He's perfectly able to respond in the next week's issue. Shays has been dodging my questions to him about his status as a conscientious objector for years now, and you have just helped him dodge the question for another week. And you've not only allowed him to dodge the question for a week, but you've held this question about his record out of discussion during this coming weekend when he is appearing at numerous town hall events. So this amounts to a blackout of important information about an elected official so that that elected official can get in and out of town without having to face up to this important question. What a disgrace. And this comes on the heels of Greenwich Post's having published a sleazy letter about Barack Obama, filled with bigotry and lies. You didn't have any problem about publishing that smear without Obama's input. What's different this week?.... |
