The papaer has taken a total 180 and is now very biased and very self serving.

[edit] A PULITZER?!?!? BHAHAHAHAHA!

I have never in my life seen a worse newspaper. There are continuous editing errors. I have been misquoted by both this and The Toledo Free Press (the brainchild of former Blade employees) more than once.

The Blade is severely slanted and biased at best, and critical of those who do not conform to the mainstream. Ask anyone who isn't a Republican, and they will confirm this opinion.

I will never pay a dime for a Toledo Blade, unless my picture is in it and I'm sending it off to "Ma & Pa" for memoirs' sake. Don't waste your money on this joke of a paper. Pulitzer? BHA! Ridiculous. Why else would the Toledo Blade break the Coingate Story? Tom Noe is HERE IN OHIO! Gee, that was tough...

Personally, I'm much more likely to pick up a Toledo City Paper - it is liberal and open to all opinions and non-conformists...and free to all.

This is not a forum, boys. Nobody cares about your opinion. Nobody cares that you're angry because the Blade doesn't reflect your bias. If you want to write an editorial, get a blog. Umlautbob 21:01, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

- The blade may be biased in your view, but thats no reason to edit the wiki about it.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:The Blade front page.jpg

Image:The Blade front page.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
