Jack Kelly Quotes .... Me?!

Jack Kelly, the first man in MSM to write about Eason Jordan led his column today with Cheat Seeking Missiles. I missed it (installing baseboard all day), but thanks to Holy Coast, I just found it. Here's the first couple graphs:

WHEN the web logger Laer (Cheat Seeking Missiles) called to cancel his 25-year subscription to the Los Angeles Times last Monday, he was made an extraordinary offer. The circulation service rep, detecting that he was fed up with the paper's liberal bias, offered to sell him the newspaper without the news sections. Laer was thunderstruck.

"How often must the beleaguered circulation department be dealing with calls like mine, for them to come up with a special like this?" he wrote. (here) (On Wednesday, an L.A. Times exec wrote back, denying that the Times offers to sell partial copies of the paper, but thanking Laer "for bringing this to our attention.") (here)

Well, that was fun. By the way, the operator said what she said, no matter what the exec thinks she said. CSM stands by its story.
