Maureen Dowd: Commentator

Now that the NYTimes is asking $40 a year to read their editorial pages, I rarely read them anymore.

However, the Manila Bulletin editors must have a lot of money, because they always print Maureen Dowd's acid tongued humor in the foreign news section...

However, about two weeks ago, I got annoyed, since the headline of her column and the content was her usual satire, but if someone just read it, they would have thought it was true...so I wrote the Bulletin a letter pointing out that by placing her column in the news section and not noting it was editorial commentary, they were essentially publishing biased news...

Voila, today, her column has a new lable: "Commentary"...

Think it was my letter? naah...couldn't be....
