"The Roanoke Times has amended their policy after the Virginia
Tech massacre. It was initiated in the advertising
department ***to be
more in line with our editorial
stance*** and I think you know what that is," said
Mary Whelchel. "I have nothing
good to tell you. We will no longer accept advertising from The
Roanoke Valley Gun Show."
So the justification they're using is the VT shooting, which had nothing to do w/ gunshows, to discriminate against firearm owners and businesses. So much for any claims of impartiality from the Times.

Hmmm, if their advertising is in line with their editorial stance, will their "hard news" be far behind?
I'll be damned--the Gun Goobers(http://www.gunguys.com/?p=2628) linked to you. I'm jealous--I don't think they have ever considered me worthy of their mudslinging.
For some reason, I couldn't put the link in as a hyperlink.
Cool, thanks for the info. I never check their site. It might generate a few hits.
