UPDATE: Even more letters have flowed in from readers of the newspaper about its editorial decision (and has responded poorly in an editorial). See it below the fold. Via The Dopest Ethiopienne’s Tumblr page, a nice example of free advertising journalism. The Stateville, N.C. Record & Landmark newspaper gave free publicity today to the Loyal White Knights [...]
