Drowned out by all the layoff-related noise coming from the Enquirer the last two days was an “adjustment” that could ruffle a few feathers in the Queen City. As of Thursday, the newspaper dropped “Cincinnati” from its masthead. The paper now calls itself The Enquirer (as if to suggest that it no longer restricts itself to mere local news). The city’s name is now relegated to second billing in a sub-masthead, Cincinnati.com.

Friday, July 10, 2009
The Enquirer recently posted Boehner’s statement on the 50th anniversary of the first U.S. combat losses in Vietnam he claims that “the freedom and liberty Americans enjoy today were secured in Vietnam no less than in any of our other military conflicts”. Is he not aware that we now know that the Vietnam War (like Iraq) was based on a lie? How did losing the war in Vietnam-that was based on a lie and killed over 4 million innocent people-secure our liberty and freedom?
