Geee Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Town Hall: That, in fact, is a direct quote from the title of a blistering op/ed published by the Times Free Press -- which was ready and waiting for President Obama on Tuesday when he landed in Chattanooga, TN for another one of his (ahem) "policy" speeches on job creation: It has to be read to be believed: President Obama, Welcome to Chattanooga, one of hundreds of cities throughout this great nation struggling to succeed in spite of your foolish policies that limit job creation, stifle economic growth and suffocate the entrepreneurial spirit. Forgive us if you are not greeted with the same level of Southern hospitality that our area usually bestows on its distinguished guests. You see, we understand you are in town to share your umpteenth different job creation plan during your time in office. If it works as well as your other job creation programs, then thanks, but no thanks. We’d prefer you keep it to yourself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggingtree Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Free Press editorial page editor no longer with Times Free Press Aug. 1st, 2013 |Free Press editor Drew Johnson has been terminated after placing a headline on an editorial outside of normal editing procedures. Johnson’s headline, “Take your jobs plan and shove it, Mr. President: Your policies have harmed Chattanooga enough,” appeared on the Free Press page Tuesday, the day President Barack Obama visited the city. The headline was inappropriate for this newspaper. It was not the original headline approved for publication, and Johnson violated the normal editing process http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2013/aug/01/free-press-editorial-page-editor-no-longer-times-f/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
