Colorado State's Newspaper Takes Stand on Tasered Student, Gets Stung

Apparently it's now taboo to tell this man to shove it.
Non Sequitur has truthfully pointed out that relatively few campus papers covered the tasing of UF student Andrew Meyer; even in the liberal bastion of Madison, there wasn’t a peep from either of UW’s student papers. Looking at what’s happened to a Colorado State University’s student editorial board leaves little wonder why.The Rocky Mountain Collegian’s staff editorial last Friday was “Taser This: **** Bush.” Well, can’t say it wasn’t to the point.
Those four little words have spelled out national media attention, loud cries for the resignation of the editor-in-chief, the loss of tens of thousands of dollars in advertising for the paper and potentially a bigger free speech debate than what the tasing itself triggered.
