Spokesperson-Review?

Sun., June 30, 2013

Isn’t it time that The Spokesman-Review moves out of the sexist dark ages and into the enlightenment of the 21st century? The name of your paper is an affront to all women, an insult reminiscent of the glass ceiling and male chauvinists from the past.

Less offensive suggestions that come to mind are “The Progressive Times,” or even “The Liberal Drumbeat.” Possibly you could run a contest to involve everyone in its renaming. Let’s do this sooner, rather than later. After all, the times are a-changing.
