[lbo-talk] Pat Robertson calls for Chavez hit

[Keith Nybakke]

The online version of the Minneapolis StarTribune newspaper (owned by 
McClatchy Co.)  included the AP story about Robertson in its August 
23 afternoon email update.

The Robertson story was one of three highlighted headline stories.

Across the river, the St. Paul Pioneer Press (Knight-Ridder) put the 
same AP piece in the middle of the list of Nation/World news pieces.

Is this story getting any traction in other cities' mainstream press? 
Is it just the AP piece, or are local papers adding anything?

I think this might be a watershed event, but if not it will at least 
take some of the hot air out of Robertson's balloon.
