The
Charlotte Sun editorial page cartoon this morning shows Herman Cain thinking "It ain't over till it's over," as he keeps his campaign afloat. Problem is, Cain announced four days ago that he had suspended his campaign -- and the
Charlotte Sun ran that story three days ago, on Sunday.
Speaking of Sunday, that was the day the same page editor ran a cartoon of a man on a bicycle, delivering an Omaha, Neb., newspaper with the headline "Local Boy Keeps Newspaper Local." If the only newspaper readers here in southwest Florida see is the
Charlotte Sun-Herald, then there is no way they could know that Warren Buffett announced plans on Nov. 30 to buy his hometown newspaper. The
Sun-Herald didn't carry that story.
And, according to Sun editorial page editors, columnist Kathleen Parker seems to have found a new home in central Florida at a newspaper owned by the Chicago-based Tribune Cos., but likes to get her e-mail at the Washington Post.
Would someone please wake up Rip?
I thought the man on the bicycle was Derek Dunn-Rankin.
