I don’t always agree with the Guardian, but I also don’t find them hiding their viewpoints or writing many stories with crash-fade endings. It wouldn’t surprise me if the conglomorate (New Media?) that owns the Weekly, the Village Voice in NY, and a host of others, continues to water itself down and eventually is purchased by a Murdoch-like derivative.

In any event, I love the plethora of local blogs that have cropped up… this one included.

But i gave up on the SF Weakly last month, when they slandered the gay community by allowing a stringer to allege that the gays have peppersprayed buju banton at his last concert.

banton of course is the braying jackass who gave the world “Boom ByeBye,” calling for genocide against gay people. The Weekly hired a stringer named Eric K. Arnold to cover it, and he used the space to inject his personal pro-buju, anti-gay politics into the piece.

Okay, not the biggest story in the world, but all politics in local, and i’m done with SF’s Weak Sister. Too bad the Bay Guardian can’t figure out a content partnership with you and other locals…

Try as I might, I just can’t see this from SFW’s point of view. I’m on Team Kevin on this one.

You’re basically upset at them for correcting a mistake.

People don’t get the difference between Murat (the lazy French dude who’s being deported because he didn’t legally renew his visa, which he had every option to do) and poor migrant workers who are trying to get asylum/find a better life in the US and have little legal recourse to do so (let alone the means to have white people blogs write about their issues).

If you do not understand this distinction you need to go grow the other half of your brain.

note that the posts from sf weekly (sf foodie blog) are web-based. i hope the irony did not escape km and crew.

You know, I know heaps of single, attractive women. Just putting that out there.
