When did the rag put out some worthy material? Has anyone checked out their website recently? The main facade at the top of the screen is some hippie's smelly ORANGE foot stepping on the seal. www.georgetownvoice.com/....seriously, what the bleep is that all about? Mod Note: Death threats, even hyperbolic ones against a newspaper, are a bit over the top. Feel free to edit your title to something a little less pejorative.Better, Dan? I like the new green font.

Much better. I like the way you've channelled your inner axe murderer.

The Indy is so much better this year, especially with that talented editor they have.

At the organizing meeting of the Independent, the guy that called it said he wanted to report news with a little bit of a conservative slant. I asked, with a little bit of sarcasm and incredulity, how he planned on doing this for sports.
Things have apparently come full circle.

I have had numerous awful experiences with the Voice in which they have attacked or insulted groups I've been a part of. The worst part is that their facts are so often completely wrong. There's no logic to their "arguments," to use that term very loosely, and their "news" is based on random rumors heard from other people who write for the Voice. I think the media board should strike down the Voice, cut its funding, aid in the Hoya's independence movement, and establish real journalism at Georgetown.
This forum now MIGHT be the most people to whom I've described my hatred for the Voice, although doing it on stage in Gaston was fun, too.

I have no idea what the second two mean - but TVBP is Thinly Veiled Brag Post.

A former Voice editor-in-chief is now senior editor at the Washington City Paper. Hmmm...

I don't understand how anyone in the university community can look at this www.georgetownvoice.com/images/header_voice.jpg and not be disgusted.

Maybe the inflammatory header is just meant to distract readers from shoddy reporting. Although the underlying contempt for the University rooted in such an image is something I just don't comprehend.

Personally, I was hoping that some poster/lurker would be a Voice big shot and would come on here to vehemently defend their honor. Inevitably, most of the original posters would backtrack while a stoic few would stand their ground, thus giving birth to another classic Hoyatalk flame war.
Sigh...

I don't think moveon.org has linked to Hoyatalk yet so most of The Voice's staff probably don't know it exists.
