> Murdoch’s ‘WSJ’ Greets New Year - With Front-Pager on Kucinich’s UFO (E&P)
The Wall Street Journal writes about Dennis Kucinich’s UFO sighting 25 years ago at Shirley MacLaine’s house. Editor & Publisher asks: “Was there really any pressing need to cover Dennis Kucinich’s old, and much laughed over, UFO encounter, especially with him about to poll about 1% of the vote in Iowa?” Anything that makes the interminable primary season even fractionally more interesting does indeed fulfill a pressing need in my book. Who cares where Kucinich is in the polls, or how old the story is? It’s kooky fun. I’d read dozens of stories about Kucinich’s literally deep pockets, for example.
