Well, well, well, The Purge continues. The Clarion-Ledger kicked the conservative comic strip Mallard Fillmore to the curb:
Apparently Gannett purged the strip from all of its newspapers.

I called the first day they put the notice up. Slim chance they will reconsider. I will cancel my print subscription if they do not reinstate Mallard.
They need the numbers for the print edition to charge the insert advertisers and paper advertisers. It is the only thing they will understand.
To be fair, Fillmore has not been good for YEARS.
**clutches pearls**
OMG, it must be an Antifa takeover.
@657 - perhaps you need a new computer, unless you have some apple crap in which case, refer to the first part of this sentence.
Seriously, bed wetting over a comic strip? The C-L is in the toilet and has been for some time. But, are we going to whine over a comic? Google the damn thing each morning if you need it to get through each day.
It is a Gannett/USA Today decision and your only recourse is to protest. Which means call in/express dissatisfaction/cancel the paper.
7:42 = loyal Blackberry user, waiting for this iPhone fad to run its course.
I haven't picked up a copy of that POS rag in over a decade
Who reads the clarion ledger anyway?
This makes sense to me. We cannot allow any dissenting voices to weaken the clarion call of Progressivism in America. "Free speech" is a racist term of white supremacy, nothing less.
@7:41 To be honest, Doonesbury hasn't been good (or relevant) since 1976.
It's all part of the national progressive/Marxist plan to control the news 100%. President-non-elect Harris will soon kick it into high gear.
Remember Pravda, komrad.
8:57. pravda lives on OANN and Newsmax. and many a Fox show also
@825 - puhleez, I think the Fish is the only person still running one of those. they pissed in their whiskey long ago.
9:16. Put down the crack pipe.
Another good reason not to read the C/L. Keep self-destructing, guys.
I purged the C-L and USA Today a LONG time ago.
Seriously, I can't believe that anyone these days would open up this big-ass piece of ink soaked papers and wrestle with it just to thumb through all of that crap. The other day I saw a dude at a gas station popping open a map the size of a small bedsheet trying to find his way. Whatever works for ya I guess.
Hey 7:19 stop clutching my Pearls Pal or palette. Go suck on Mr. Potato Head. Oh wait. Mr. Potato Head is now without pearls.
Kingfish: Serious question...When you post something preceded by "Posted by Kingfish at 6:00 a.m.", how are we to know which day it was posted? I tend to look at those stamps to determine whether or not current, new, old, etc. Thanks.
@6:57
I suspect the computer skills that Kingfish has are limited to him pointing his phone camera at whatever he wants to post, and either snapping a picture, or recording a video of a video he is watching. From there he has some app that does the rest for him. Either that or he uses a Mac so he can’t even right click to save files on the internet.... lol

You've got to be kidding. Hover your cursor over the time and you'll see the date.
10:49 AM
You do that by going to the home page. They're sorted by day.
Because the comics at the C-L are printed far in advance Mallard will appear for a final time Sunday along with the usual Progressive "news" stories.
If anyone's buying the newspaper for the funnies when they can ALL be got for free every day right here on Al Gore's internet, I don't have much sympathy.
Ok, smart alecs. Here is the deal.
To look at the actual newspaper online, I have to use the CL online viewer.
I click on the strip and it appears enlarged on a separate pane. That is the first one you see. The second one sucks to read. It was screen saved off the viewer. I wanted to show the notice among the adjacent strips.
Man, both subscribers to the CL are going to be seriously pissed off.
Good.
Dig that crazy sport coat, man.
F the CL.
Unfreaking unbelievable. Why dotn they get up Doonesbury the last time it was funny Nixon was President.

Same here 12:55.
If that was an honest post, it was more pathetic than a remaining Jackson business bitching about having "something" stolen.
If a newspaper is in the woods and nobody reads it, was it ever...
I'd renew my daily delivery if they'd carry Bloom County.
The C-L removed Doonesbury a few years ago.
Apparently, this is a purge of all politics on the funny pages.
MISTER LEDGER! Tear down this iron fence! (And hock it to Charlotte Reeves who can get you top dollar for it.)
What is really going on in the world. Is this leftist blitz and attempt to grab as much territory as they can before people finally say enough. Then the so called lines of normality will be reset.
If a newspaper is in the woods and nobody reads it, was it ever...
The bears request that newspapers be kept in the woods because....well....you know what bears do in the woods.
Most of the comments to this post blow my mind!! You people just don't get it!! This is not about how good or bad the CL is, or how poorly the cartoon was copied. It's about the silencing of the conservative voice, which is happening at an ever increasing rate through out the media. If political satire in the comics cannot survive, we are doomed.
