SUPPORT THE NEO-MCCARTHYITES

MSNBC have yanked Ted Rall's cartoon from their site, so of course Ted's ranting about "Neo-McCarthyite censors".
Whatever.
Conveniently, he provided me with the e-mail address to tell MSNBC I fully understand they're under no obligation to run the work of a talentless doodler if they don't want to.
Send a note to MSNBC! Ted Rall demands it!
UPDATE. Jim Treacher has the latest on pretender-Ranger Micah Wright, presently howling like a cat in a microwave over the terrible treatment he’s been subject to. Cover your ears. As Treacher writes: "You'd think a former paratrooper would know not to keep kicking his legs on the way down... oh, right. Forgot."
UPDATE II. Ted Rall, big man.
Posted by Tim Blair at May 12, 2004 02:55 AMJust sent MSNBC my opinion. I wasn't harsh, just told them I simply could not in good conscience support MSNBC if they continue to run this persons cartoons.
Also made sure the title was obvious: "Please drop Ted Rall cartoons", in case they don't actually read the contents.
Posted by: Dash at May 12, 2004 at 03:57 AMJust sent MSNBC my best wishes for sidelining Rall. Subject Line - Ted Rall, Talentless Hack.
They won't have to actually read the content, and I suspect they wouldn't anyway.
Posted by: bkayel at May 12, 2004 at 04:20 AMJust make sure not to send any death threats, like "That latest Rall strip was really killer" or "Drop-dead hilarious!"
As for Micah Wright, I've set up a separate archive page for him here, if you don't want to scroll past the occasional post about the Olsen Twins or David Boreanaz.
