3. Wowee 00= Look at that!

I find this response surprising.

[EFerrari]

4. You gonna write the editor, next? n/t

[EFerrari]

6. I don't know. I think maybe follow up with Dick Rogers

the public editor.

As Bill Moyers said, the news business is at war with journalism. I'm trying to figure out how to support journalism.

Maybe if the Public Ed got a few more letters?

Dick Rogers is often swamped, but he always gets back to you.

8. Good going

Now, if Greg sits on this News, he oughtta go out and get himself an honest job.

[EFerrari]

9. Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

At what point can you just not stand the cognitive dissonance, aka, dishonesty?

I asked him to pass it on to his editor, and also, I cc'd the readers' rep.

The Chronicle is in a bind on this one.

10. Well,

.....might I suggest someone keep turning the screw?

I would think a front page article would return some dignity to the paper. A front page that reverses the previous story line and a plea to the public to forgive the bias the paper had shown. Methinks it would sell a ton of papers!

[EFerrari]

11. I'm not going to stop bringing it up. Maybe I could ask the CA

forum to lend a few emails. As the holiday fatigue wears off, more people will be up for participating.

12. You rock

Gawd, how I wish I had an activist like you in my 'hood. We tear 'em a new one!

I almost feel sorry for that rag. Almost. It deserves to be flushed!
