McClatchy Company is very de-centralized when it comes to decisions like this. Anyway, that's what an editor at McClatchy told me. Do you have information otherwise? I'd be interested, because the decision to distribute the DVD is a black mark and the proper party should be held accountable.

They are in business to make money so they would inherently distribute it because they want to make more money. BTW I thought it was mindless hate speech anyways They didn’t make that decision McClatchy Company did, the company that owns the CLT Observer.

I lost a lot of respect I had for the paper when they chose to sell their soul and distribute the hate DVD 'Obsession'. I don't care if they needed money; it was spineless and cheap. Especially when they came out and continued the offense by defending themselves by saying it was a legitimate 'paid advertisement'. I’m afraid you’re right.
