A fellow lefty speaks, Elroy: "As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I am keenly aware that the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons is an issue of grave importance to all nations. Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process." --Nancy Pelosi, December 16, 1998

Crooked lefty media strikes again: LOL Minnesota advertisers sue McClatchy, allege inflated circulation American City Business Journals ^ \| 9/26/05 Four advertisers are suing the Star Tribune, the largest newspaper owned by The McClatchy Co. of Sacramento, alleging the publication inflated its circulation numbers so it could charge higher advertising rates. In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis, the four staffing companies accused the Star Tribune of overstating its circulation figures by as much as 15 percent since 1999. Among other allegations, the advertisers say the Star Tribune required distributors to dump unsold newspapers at hospitals, hotels, schools and shopping centers, and counted them toward its circulation numbers. The Star Tribune and its parent company denied the accusations. "This suit is without merit," said Elaine Lintecum, McClatchy's treasurer, in a statement. "We stand by our circulation practices at the Star Tribune and all of our newspapers. Our internal reviews as well as audits by the Audit Bureau of Circulations have consistently verified that our reporting practices are sound." Circulation-inflation scandals have hit several major newspapers in the past few years, including Newsday in New York and The Dallas Morning News. The lawsuit seeks class action status and unspecified damages. The Star Tribune has reported average daily circulation of about 380,000 and Sunday circulation of nearly 679,000. McClatchy operates 12 daily newspapers including The Sacramento Bee, and 17 newspapers that publish less frequently; most are in the West and the Carolinas. © 2005 American City Business Journals Inc.
