In tomorrow's paper; worth the price
Christy Seals is an editor who works at night on our copy desk. She's better known outside our walls as half of the blogging pair at Ryan and Christy's Place. They started the blog a year ago when Ryan was shipped to Iraq. It was a way to communicate with each other, families and friends. It was a place to share their hopes and fears. It became much more. It became a journal they call "A Love Story a Half a World Away."
Read excerpts in the Life section tomorrow. Bring tissues.

I forwarded this article to PowerLineblog.com with the comment that I was astonished to see this article above the fold and on the front page precisely because I believe the N&R has been and is now in fact routinely biased towards the democratic liberal left agenda. I think it is really bad business strategy for a newspaper to alienate and ultimately cut itself off from 1/2 of its revenue stream by taking sides (any side!). The N&R has much to do to convince me that they haven't taken sides and unless they take aggressive steps to demonstrate that they are not trying to drive a pro Democratic Party anti Bush agenda then I will soon bypass the N&R daily newspaper altogether and go straight to the Drudge Report, CNN.com, Foxnews.com, RealClearPolitics.com, and Powerline (to name a few) for news and perspective. In a democracy it is not the role of newspapers to drive agendas - it is, among other things, the role of newspapers to report the facts about others in society who choose to drive agendas. Many in the newspaper business have crossed the line and this is perhaps the greatest collective dereliction of duty and abuse of privilege that has occurred in this country in recent history and is a sad and highly troubling development. By taking sides and driving an agenda you cease to be trustworthy and move towards becoming propagandists. Your reporting of the Wilson Plame affair is one of many proofs I would offer up. If you honestly evaluated what you have reported and compared that to the facts and reams of available documents on this matter you would be embarrassed at the number of corrections and retractions that would be required to set the record straight.
