CDA Press Asleep At Online Switch

Good stinking grief. A comment featuring a WNTube link to a vile racist song has been sitting for hours like a pile of merde among the Coeur d'Alene Press online story comments re: Nontombi Naomi Tutu's speech to the Human Rights banquet last night. You can see the post by Freedom For All (10:58 a.m.) here. (You can hear the WNTube for yourself, if you have the stomach to do so, here. Caution: Extremely racist.) It now has been posted for four hours. I'm told the Press has removed other racist garbage from the same thread today. Press Editor Mike Patrick needs to remove this post, ban Freedom for All, and issue an apology to readers.
