This is an open letter to my former good friend, Otis Sanford, editorial page editor of the Morning Publication:
Now you are begging for an additional cash flow to save your newspaper. How unbecoming!
It's all over Sanford's column Sunday. He quotes some big exec from the Denver Post who says the Post may withdraw content from its web site.
Is it time to laugh?
Don't over value your worth, my former friend. The only thing worthy of deep laughter is your editor, Chris Peck. He wrote one of the most ridiculous, asinine, stupid responses to a reporter ot the Memphis News that I have ever seen. I know you would agree if you could, but this was funny if it weren't so unbelievable. It conjures up my thoughts that the Morning Publication can certainly dish it out, but go off the deep end when it pertains to looking into the mirror.
Now Otis and others in his dying business are saying free speech doesn't mean free of charge.
Good luck, I doubt it will save the Morning Publication. Oh, well, Otis, you can always hope to hit it big on the Internet when the end comes.

Mike, The only thing that I can say right now about Sanford and Peck are that they must be shaking in their boots as to what is going on. They can only regurgitate internet news (you can read verbatim on the internet the night before you see it in the CA), rely on the sports pages (2 big sections on Sundays), local news, AP news, and advertising. All local news is heavily fortified with pictures, local events, gardening, and women's news (fashions etc.). Anything in depth is rare or non-existant. Now we have to pay extra for a television news magazine. Peck and Sanford rule the paper by their cherry picking of letters to the editor, the silly cartoons, one-sided editorials, and constant race baiting the issues. They say they are "balanced" but we know which way the pendulum swings. The code word for this is "progressive." Neither one could make it on the internet because they do not believe in free speech.
