Cindy: Does SR hate cats?
In her Front Porch column, Cindy Hval wonders if The Spokesman-Review hates cats:
Complaints about media bias abound. Just about every week you’ll see a letter to the editor claiming this newspaper leans to the left or reveres the right. Someone’s event/candidate/ nonprofit was slighted and bias is to blame. I take these mutterings with a grain of salt because if you’re looking for bias, you’ll certainly find it. Imagine my surprise when I found it on the front page of last Thursday’s features section. I blinked and rubbed my eyes, but there it was in living color – proof that this good paper had gone to the dogs. A story announcing the launch of The Spokesman-Review’s new online pet page featured seven reader-submitted photos of pets. I know I’m not very good at math, but I can count, and what I counted was six dog photos and only one cat photo. ONE! (Full disclosure: I happen to be owned by two cats.) Outraged, I did the only logical thing. I posted a rant about it on Facebook. “Does The Spokesman-Review hate cats?” I asked. More here.
Question: Which do you prefer dogs/cats/other?
