JUNE
20, 2004 --
'Lonely Pamphleteer
Review learned by means of its investigation that Newsday, a Long
Island, N.Y. daily tabloid, prints the same horoscope that appears
in The Washington Post, but runs an abbreviated version.
On June 16, for example, Newsday published only two of the 12 Jeraldine Saunders
horoscopes with all the information published in The Washington
Post.
Here is Aquarius in Newsday's Jeraldine
Saunders horooscope, for June 16:
"There is still magic working where relationships are concerned, but you
would be wise to keep your wallet carefully closed for the moment."
That was also in the Saunders June 16 horoscope in The Washington Post, but
the Post version continued: "Making purchases or deals now could cause
an endless drain on your resources."
Or compare this Newsday Aries for June 16: "You could be lured into acting
under false pretenses or drawn into relationship woes unless you tread carefully."
With the Washington Post version that had the forgoing, plus: "Misunderstanding
are likely, so avoid agreements or contracts."
It appears to
LPR that the horoscope information denied to readers of Newsday
would assist them in understanding as well as following the stars,
the better to achieve a successful day.

It is difficult
to see how the Newsday editing (censoring?) of Jeraldine Saunders
is in the public interest.
In addition,
Newsday does not provide the horoscope information provided by
Jeraldine Saunders for the day's birthday. The Washington Post
does. This writer has long known that Newsday does not print all
the news.
He learned this when Newsday apparently willfully would not print the facts
about the Dayton Seaside property tax manipulation that remains ignored by
Newsday along with trhe rest of the establishment media in the New York metropolitan
area.
But to learn that Newsday is short-changing readers of the Jeraldine Saunders
horoscope? What a denial of
the right of the public to know.
Perhaps before criticizing the Bush administration concerning the war on Iraq,
Newsday should put its own house in order and either publish the Jeraldine
Saunders horoscope as fully as does The Washington Post -- or acknowledge that
it
publishes a much shorter version of the Saunders horoscope, compared to, say,
The Washington Post.
And, after doing that, Newsday might publish the facts of the Dayton Seaside
property tax manipulation used by the NYC establishbment to get new owners
at these Rockaway New York apartment buildings, December 11, 2001.
