I think the point of that is to debunk the articles that are stating they did so due to this particular strip, it was already done weeks prior to it's release .
"However, the reality is that the strip had already been dropped by all Gannett-owned newspapers weeks before this newest strip was released. Doonesbury, the first comic strip to win the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning, was one of a number of newspaper comic strips to lose its spot in Gannett-owned newspapers due to a unified approach by Gannett towards the "funny pages" of its newspapers."
Gannett is "allowing" its papers to choose from an approved list - they know better than we do. (my sarcasm)
I remember way back when the LA Times chose not to publish one Doonesbury comic that showed Frank Sinatra with gangsters. They did not want to ruffle his feathers. I Stopped my subscription that day and told them why. Fuck censorship. And long live Doonesbury.
