"Two weeks after The Washington Post pulled its co-sponsorship of a controversial Pentagon-organized march [3] to commemorate Sept. 11, The Washington Times [4] has offered to take its place," reports Editor & Publisher. The Washington Times' offer of free advertising is "a very reasonable thing to do in terms of public service [5]," said general manager and vice-president Dick Amberg. Defense Department [6] officials "have not responded to the offer, and it is unclear if it will be accepted." In explaining its decision to pull out of the America Supports You [5] "Freedom Walk [3]," which includes a concert by Clint Black, the country musician who wrote the pro-war song "Iraq and I Roll," The Washington Post said its policy is to "avoid activities that might lead readers to question the objectivity of The Post's news coverage."
