Omission of Obama on front page stirs protest in Terrell, TX 
 Source: WFAA-TV

TERRELL - Protestors spoke out Thursday against The Terrell Tribune's decision not to put Barack Obama's presidential victory on its front page.

The day after Obama was elected as president, the banner headline for the Tribune focused on the county commissioner's race. The headline read, "Jackson defeats Schoen."

About 25 residents, who said they had hoped to save the local paper with Obama's victory noted front page, picketed the newspaper's office Thursday.

...

Protestors pointed out that on Election Day, the Tribune had printed a John McCain-focused story as their lead story on the front page.

..

The Terrell Tribune's publisher, Bill Jordan, declined an on-camera interview.

"We run a newspaper, not a memory book service," he said. "We covered the local commissioner's race. We thought that was more important."

Dear Editor

In disregarding the Obama win you made a lot of moonbats very angry.

 :rotf: I'm glad the editor said that. I would have suggested to the DUmmies where they could stick their desired front page.
