WashPost regretting decision to sponsor Freedom Walk

[from: Poynter Online - Forums]The headlining act of this upcoming affair is a faded country star who got himself back into the news with a song called "I Raq and Roll." The song manages, in one fell swoop, to deride anti-war protesters, glorify the use of smart bombs in Iraq, and make Lee Greenwood's "God Bless The U.S.A." actually seem complex. So much for the no-connection-to-the-war argument and so much for a dignified tribute to the victims of 9/11." also, this from E&P: 'Wash Post' Guild Leaders Want Paper Out Of Sept. 11 'Freedom Walk'
