Conservative newspaper owner failed to disclose investment in anti-Obama film

[UCmeNdc]

The conservative owner of both of San Diego’s major newspapers failed to inform his editorial staff and at least one former local politician of his financial involvement with a recent anti-Barack Obama film.

According to The Associated Press, Doug Manchester, owner of both U-T San Diego and The North County Times, invested in 2016: Obama’s America, a conspiracy-ridden documentary based on a book by pundit Dinesh D’Souza, forecasting a dire future for the U.S. if Obama is re-elected as president this year.

However, San Diego Citybeat reported Tuesday that Manchester did not inform various members of his staff, including the newspaper’s editorial board, nor did he inform former local city council member Donna Frye, who wrote a guest review of the film for the paper.

1. Asshole. I feel bad for San Diegans who

are thinkers who have to deal with the SD T-U and the North County Times. I use to live in North County SD back in the '80s before I ever got into politics.

So does Doug Manchester get into trouble? Why didn't he disclose it?

2. I hadn't heard of this movie until

someone at work told me what a good documentary it was and it wasn't like a Michael Moore movie. When I pressed for a review of what it was about they started telling me things in it that were RW talking points. OK these people don't believe MM but believe this crap.
