[MGSA-L] The shame of the National Herald

[Grammenos, Dennis]

Shame indeed!

I suppose if there is a policy of allowing any ad to appear on the National Herald, they would accept one celebrating bestiality or Hitler's birthday, or one that combines the two.  "Happy Birthday to our Eternal Fuhrer, the Great Theriophiliac" with an appropriate photoshoped image?  Let's start a collection to pay for it and see how far we get...

Subject: [MGSA-L] The shame of the National Herald

Please note that in this weekend's edition the National Herald has published an ad that celebrates the 1967 Junta and specifically the dictator G. Papadopoulos, with a photograph and the title "Vindicated"

See here:

This is an utterly shameful act that insults every Greek citizen, as well as the memory of those who were, exiled, tortured, and killed by the junta.

It is extremely important that you write to the editorial leadership of the Herald (addresses below) and demand that, at the very least, they publish the names of persons and/or organizations who paid for this ad, as well as an explicit repudiation of the views expressed thereof. Note that, as the ad is unsigned, it constitutes de facto the newspaper's own position.

Those of you with connections to editors of Greek newspapers, please alert them to this despicable gesture, so that the NH is shamed publicly as well.
