A note of apology to readers | The Portland Press Herald / Maine Sunday Telegram

A note of apology to readers | The Portland Press Herald / Maine Sunday Telegram: "
We made a news decision on Friday that offended many readers and we sincerely apologize for it.

Many saw Saturday's front-page story and photo regarding the local observance of the end of Ramadan as offensive, particularly on the day, September 11, when our nation and the world were paying tribute to those who died in the 9/11 terrorist attacks nine years ago.

We have acknowledged that we erred by at least not offering balance to the story and its prominent position on the front page"


Translation:

We are sorry that we have offended the bigots in the crowd. We promise that next time we say something positive about Islam we will make sure to run a column by Marty Peretz or Cal Thomas to compensate.

Fuckwits.

Not moderated but I do delete spam and I would rather that people not act like assholes.
