Then, like a switch was thrown, they flipped like Reagan Dunn or Bill Finkbiener on that issue.
That's their privilege.
But it hasn't stopped there: the Seattle Times is actively campaigning for R74.
That, of course, means even the thin veneer of objectivity and journalism has fled the building, and these people are actively.... and openly.... out of the closet in their fringe-left efforts to engineer our society.
The CAUSE of the violation of their charter as a newsgathering organization is irrelevant to the issue: ANY issue where a newspaper announces their support or opposition AND THEN CAMPAIGNS ON THAT VIEWPOINT represents an in-kind campaign contribution.
Ref. 74: Join our 'I do' social media campaign to support same-sex marriage
Do you support same-sex marriage? Join The Seattle Times editorial board's social media campaign to approve Referendum 74 on the Nov. 6 ballot.
If you didn't get the sign In your Seattle Times newspaper on Sept. 16, click on the image below to print one out:

Please include names of the people in the photo. By sharing your photo, you give The Seattle Times permission to publish the photo in print and online.

It used to be that papers, who enjoy numerous tax advantages because of some nebulous function of newsgathering or some such, at least followed the pretense of fairness and non-judgement.
And I give the Times props for "coming out of the closet" to verify their horrific bias, unlike our own waste of wood pulp that operates under the lie that they're non-partisan and that their support of the CRC scam and leftist candidates has nothing to do with their political proclivities any more than homosexuality has anything to do with the proclivities of the practitioner.
All of this is, of course, the Times' privilege, as long as their actions are reported as in-kind contributions by the Referendum they're working for.
But this idea that, say for example, newspapers are "special," or "needed," or "fair and unbiased sources of news?"
That joke has fallen flat, courtesy of the Seattle Times.
One wonders how the PDC views all this.
One will find out in the next few days.
Either way, it's time... long past time... that the newspapers of this state loose their tax advantages and that their product be taxed like any other sold around here.
After all, they're really no different then this blog in their advocacy. And the business behind this blog... meaning me... has to pay a buttload of taxes.
And so should they.
