The Washington Post has a letters to the editor blacklist and I am proud that the Dustin Inman Society is on it!

To copy a phrase from Glenn Reynolds: they told me that if Bush was elected there would be blacklists...and they were right.

On “pooling sovereignty”, blacklists and far-left open borders newspapers…

The Washington Post editors may want to consider “pooling” journalistic integrity in order to find a measurable amount - or how proud am I to be banned from the Washington Post editorial page?————————————

“As you know, I liked the letter, but an editor here said that The Post will not print letters from your group.” - A June 6, 2008 e-mail response to a question from me to Tom Rowe, a copy editor in the letters to the editor department at the Washington Post.

My question was “did my letter get in pls sir”?
As someone who studies - and is
active in trying to stop - the illegal immigration and illegal employment crisis created by the Bush administration’s refusal to secure American borders - war on terror be damned - I wish I could say that I am surprised that the Washington Post, one of the more aggressive proponents of open borders keeps a “no publish” blacklist for its letters to the editor.

My only surprise comes from the admission and confirmation from an editor inside the newspaper that the suspected censorship is reality.

I take it as a personal point of pride and endorsement to learn that I am on their blacklist.
