The Tennessean, is it me or is this another liberall newspaper?

[sigbear]

I'm new to Tennessee and started getting the Tennessean news paper and am disappointed with a lot of the articles being of liberal views. Is it me?

No. It's not you. All the major newspapers in TN are. Chatt times free press is probably the least, but still.

And you get the pleasure of your HCP info listed on Memphis' very own Commercial Appeal. They opted to pay daily fines of $1,200 just to point you out to all your neighbors.

[monkeylizard]

The Nashville Banner was one of the last good newspapers in the state. It has been gone for years now.

The Tennessean is owned by Gannet, the people who bring you the hard hitting news of USA Today read by weary travelers in Hampton Inns across the country.

What are you talking about? I don't think there is a fine for posting our information.

[Guest gunnutt]

I said they "opted" (past tense) back when they started. Don't know if they're still penalized these days. They're probably not, since the uproar occured when they posted more personal info than just name and address, which they retracted. AND it's still usually incorrect. Mine was on it, then taken down, then on it again. Here's a link so you can check yo'self: Tennessee Handgun Carry Permits Information & News from The Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)

Here's my post that came up on a Google search. Forgot I wrote about it. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/general-off-topic/43774-new-poll-tennessean-commercial-appeal.html

And the search showed this. But this one's just silly stupid. The Word - Locked and Loathed - The Colbert Report - 2009-09-03 - Video Clip | Comedy Central

The best paper to get around here is the Nashville Retrospect then rely on the net for all other news.

I just searched for myself, found another dude with my exact name, first middle and last who has a permit but he is in another city.

[Guest jackdm3]

And with all the people bringing to their attention the erroneous info, they STILL have the program running.

It is owned by McPaper (USA Today/Gannett).
