I was the one who wrote the article about the hypocrisy of censoring Doonesbury on the basis of being a "family newspaper" while still accepting advertising for strip clubs in the Sports section.
Of course, the Tennessean's headline for my letter was completely out of touch with the subject of my letter. My beef was with the hypocrisy of the newspaper, but the header read "Sex Ads Far Worse than Doonesbury". That wasn't my point at all. I simply stated that if you're going to ban Doonesbury because it's in the comic section where children might see it, then you should ban the stripper ads because they're in the sports section where children might see them. Of course, I don't want the stripper ads banned, and I don't want valid political commentary banned either.
