Letter to Newyork.Citysearch.com

by Jason Roth
 
To: Newyork.Citysearch.com
Subject: Your poll of the day
Date: 11/3/00

Re. your poll on the NY website:

---
What's scariest?

 George Bush in the White House
 The Yankees deal with the Devil
 The Halloween Parade
---

You should have added a fourth choice:

A publisher like Citysearch preferring to slam George Bush rather than a Democratic ticket that openly proposes censorship (i.e., of the film industry).

If and when Gore/Lieberman do enact this kind of censorship, please do not conveniently forget that you were against Bush. You deserve to have your mouths duct-taped by Lieberman himself.

-Jason Roth

P.S. Yeah, I know. Your poll question was "just a joke".

P.P.S. No, the entire city of NY is not a bunch of bleeding heart liberals like you might assume.


Footnote:

This second poll appeared on CitySearch later the same day:

Biggest election ethical dilemma?
 Gore or Nader?
 Vote or not?
 Here or Canada?

My suggestion: they might want to stick with reviewing gay bars and leave the politics to someone else.

Did you have an opinion on this? Then post a comment.
