Boondocks revisited

I wrote a letter to the New York Daily News today about the News' removal of the Boondocks strips and why they did not give an explanation to its readers. They responded:

Boondocks is on vacation...

I replied that it was false and I gave them six links which are given below:

Here is another link for viewers to this blog: Heated Debate Over Spiking of 'Boondocks' Strips

Boondocks

Both the New York Daily News and Newsday print editions refuse to publish Boondocks for this week. In the case of the Daily News, a notice appeared in both Monday's and Thursday's paper saying, "Boondocks is on vacation and will return on September 27." No word, no debate on why the News refuses to publish the controversial strips, about a black-oriented reality TV program.
