Washington Post Censors, Doesn't Let Readers Decide

Link to August 10 New York Times article, "Comic Strips on N.F.L. and Race: Fair Game or Out of Bounds?"

Excerpt: The six strips — which The Washington Post deemed “inappropriate” and has chosen not to run — portray N.F.L. Commissioner Roger Goodell as torn about how to handle Vick and two other African-American players in legal trouble, receiver Donte’ Stallworth of the Cleveland Browns and Plaxico Burress, the former Giant.

The Washington Post. From exemplar to laughingstock in less than 40 years.
