What a difference a day makes

This was the Detroit Free Press on Friday morning, trumpeting Clint Eastwood's  speech at the RNC Convention the prior evening.

This was the Detroit Free Press on Saturday morning, letting us know (about 24 hours too late) that, well, maybe, after all, it wasn't received all that well outside of mainstream republicans.

Fucking seriously?  It took the Free Press 24 hours to figure this out?  For fuck's sake, I was on the web all night Thursday and the speech was almost universally panned.  Twitter had dozens of negative comments just on the couple of sites I was following that night.

I appreciate that their readership continues to fall and that they're trying to swing a little to the right to garner more republican subscribers (and good luck with that), but Jesus H. Christ this was like a man with a tin ear trying to play a guitar.  Just brutal.

Peace,
