Alligator shows socialist slant
(10/14/09 12:00am)
By reading today's Alligator, it seems that the paper should be renamed Granma UF or The Socialist Newsletter of Gator Comrades. The International Socialist Organization was prominently quoted in one article without a counter position from a group that may not support their issue.

And the kicker was the opinion column calling Che Guevara a "hero" with laughable propaganda that failed to mention Guevara's death squads of innocent Cubans. The Alligator's motto "We Inform. You Decide." should be changed to "We Indoctrinate. You Obey."
