The Terrell (Texas) Tribune did not — I repeat, did not — run a story on November 5 reporting on the first black man to ever win the presidency of the United States. Its front page main story was a report on the winner of he local commissioner's race.
“We run a newspaper, not a memory book service,” the publisher said. “We covered the local commissioner's race. We thought that was more important.”
But on the day of the election, November 4, the paper's big story was about Republican candidate John McCain.
