They jerk eachother off to get what they want, and freedom of speech gets screwed.

This happens whether a Rep. or Dem. is in office. It is called "having friends in high places". The same shit happens in EVERY industry. But, i seriously doubt Bush had anything to do with Doonsbury being cancelled. That is just a hilarious thought!
The paper is more indebted to it's subscribers. They pay the bill....period. If they get enough complaints about something, it will change.
