The Post-Star's Twofer: Cheerlead War AND Subvert Democracy

The Glens Falls Post-Star (or "The Pro-War" or "Fascist Daily" as I like to call it - take your pick) regularly manipulates the facts to ensure that its readership is left ignorant, but did you know that, aside from all their propagandistic, pro-war, wire story regurgitation, in their spare time, they are also busy subverting our democracy? It is Day 41 of the Pro-War's purposeful blackout of third-party candidates in NYS. January 1st through today, they have printed a lot of stories for two-party candidates. To be more specific,

Kirsten "Hillary" Gillibrand -a corporate Dem running for Congress in our district 99 stories
John Sweeney -a real Drunk incumbent Republican (maybe) running against her 202 stories

Those running as third-party candidates have, thus far, been completely ignored. I wonder if they even believe in democracy?
Malachy McCourt -a Green running for Governor of NYS 0 stories
Sander Hicks -a Green running for US Senate in NYS 0 stories

Is Post-Star management just a bunch of frightened corporate proles or are they all enthusiastically goose stepping around with combs under their noses? You decide!
