THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY DOESN'T EXIST?

Apparently not in the eyes of the San Diego Union-Tribune. After the flap raised by reader complaints (and ours) over the U-T's publication of the ad for "Southern Baptist Sissies", the paper has yet to print any note about the issue. The ad ran again yesterday (U-T statement on Friday--one not published in the paper--said it was already done in an earlier press run) and I haven't been able to find any article apologizing for offending many in the Christian community.
This is a far cry from the continuous coverage they gave the "to print or not to print" debate over the Muslim cartoons earlier this year. Editor Karin Winner was quoted regarding the U-T's sensitivity, concern and blah blah blah. Here's a trip down Memory Lane:

BTW: One listener wrote me on Friday seeing some parody in this ad flap vs. Paulson's being offended by the Mt. Soledad Cross. Ah, there are big differences in the issues. We'll discuss more of this on today's show, 12-3PM Pacific on NewsRadio 600 KOGO and www.kogo.com

SEE WHAT THE FUSS IS ABOUT: See the ad and the U-T's "statement" on www.kogo.com
Just click on "Heard on KOGO" and then go to "Mark Larson File".

BUSH NOT GOING THERE: At this morning's news conference he was asked about endorsing the GOP candidate in Connecticut (aka: the guy no one can remember who is running in the Lieberman-Lamont Senate race). One Republican who isn't dancing around the issue is Jack Kemp... who told me on my KOGO show that he would campaign for--- Lieberman. Hear the interview on www.kogo.com... go to "KOGO On Demand" and get the audio in our podcast section.
