Newspaper publisher apologizes ( but ? )

When did America lose its sense of humor ? Even newspaper publishers

    are reduced to pulp by a vociferous accusation that they failed to show

    sufficient respect for ethnic or gender sensitivities.

         The " victims " of the  INSULT do not want to enlighten you, they

    want to RUIN you !

         The publisher of the  Los Angeles Times, Mark H. Willes, suggested

    that more " emotional " stories may attract the  - who can deny it ? -

    more emotional  sex. Sexist !   Confess and repent !

        Don't think too much about the TRUTH of this observation, even if

    MILLIONS of dollars are  at stake.

         Every humble librarian - and they are mostly women - is well aware

    of  the simple fact of life : women in general are more emotional than

    men.  And their reading habits reflect it.

         It is possible often to be BOTH more emotional AND more intelligent.

        Psychologists  are aware that strong emotions can inspire brilliant

    thinking.

          Women on the newspaper staff of the Los Angeles Times no doubt

    reacted more emotionally to Mr. Willes remark. The males were more

    " analytical ". 

          Viva la difference !
