So, I got a good laugh in this morning. As I normally do every day, I checked out the Columbus Dispatch letters-to-the-editor because I tend to find the majority of them so ridiculous, I either shake my head and laugh or feel the need to rebut the letter(s) with those crazy things called facts. It was a different story with a letter I read today. I laughed, but not at the letter that was written. I laughed at the headline the Dispatch decided to use for the letter.
The letter was written by one John C. Hamler of Columbus, and read as follows:
"The Saturday Dispatch editorial 'A pattern of failure' is yet another biased bashing of the Obama administration.
Since the presidencies of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, the Republican plan for America is to cut taxes for the rich, take jobs from the middle class, cut benefits to the poor and take the vote away from those who don't support them.
The U.S. Supreme Court has ensured that the Republican Party is the best that money can buy; Republican gerrymandering has made voting irrelevant, and the bias of The Dispatch has proved it to be nothing more than a Republican publication.
So when it comes to controlling democracy and protecting the elite, the Chinese have nothing on us."
So, guess what headline the Dispatch used for this letter? I'll give you a few options:
A) The Biased Dispatch
B) Cheating is the Only Way the GOP Can Win
C) The GOP Only Cares About the Top 1%
D) To the GOP, the Poor Smell Like Cow Dung
E) The Columbus Dispatch Does Their Best Fox News Impersonation
F) The RepubliCAN Party Has Turned Into the RepubliCON Party
G) GOP Has a Lot Going For It In Ohio, U.S.
If you answered anything between the letters "A" and "F," I'm sorry, but you'd be incorrect. The correct answer is "G."
That's right, after this man bashed the Columbus Dispatch for being too conservatively biased and went on to criticize the Republican Party, the Dispatch decided to prove this bias by titling the piece, "GOP Has a Lot Going For It in Ohio, U.S." Perhaps they should have elongated the headline some to give readers a clearer picture, to something like, "GOP Has a Lot Going For It in Ohio, U.S., Largely Due to Conservatively Biased Media Outlets Such as the Columbus Dispatch, Which This Man Called Us Out On, and We Proved By Distorting the Message the Author Was Trying To Convey." Okay, perhaps they'll have to condense that a bit, to something like, "GOP Has a Lot Going For It in Ohio Due to the Columbus Dispatch." There, that's better.
Well, I must be going. I'm now going to write a letter-to-the-editor to the Dispatch which lists a large number of examples of their bias. It's my bet they'll title the piece, "Man Shares His Love For the Dispatch." Yeah, that's it...
