The Columbia Journalism Review has the story on the battle, which began with this paragraph from a Times story:

It's a small, unkempt-looking place, defined by a series of out-of-town stores, a huge lumber yard, a ramshackle bar named the Mug-Shot Saloon with Harley Davidsons parked outside, and a lake, by the side of which is Palin's house....

The Frontiersman responds:

It's as inaccurate and unfair as it would be for anyone else to define England by a stereotypical lack of dental hygiene.

Ouch. Plus, special bonus: New stereotypes from the Times about Inuits' capacities to prepare coffee.
