Rose & Tom (and Visionaries):=20
Let's be very clear on this matter.=20
a.. Back on 9 August 2003, Nathan Alford wrote in the Daily News that =
the Editors were interested in correcting every error in the Daily News =
(see "Accuracy Matters").=20
b.. The Daily News decided to run a front-page story based on a =
deliberately inflammatory, misleading, and incorrect anonymous flier.
a.. The headline article on Saturday read: "Sanchez, director of =
diversity and human rights at the UI, decided to research the Christ =
Church-sponsored conference in February that features the authors =
discussing history and slavery."
b.. The History Conference isn't about, nor has it ever been about =
slavery. See: =
http://www.christkirk.com/HistoryConferences/9thHistoryConference/Topics.=
asp
c.. You just have to wonder how much research Sanchez really did =
when he didn't even know what the topic of the conference was about!
c.. Yesterday (15 Oct 2003), the Daily News issued the following =
correction: "Local pastor Douglas Wilson and author J. Steven Wilkins, =
who were mentioned in the article "Slavery Revisited" in the weekend =
edition of the Daily News, will be in attendance at the ninth annual =
History Conference at the University of Idaho in February. The =
conference, sponsored by Credenda/ Agenda, will cover the topics of =
revolution and modernity. Incomplete information appeared in the Daily =
News."
a.. In fact, not only was the information incomplete, the =
information was factually incorrect.=20
b.. The Editors are refusing to retract the deliberately incorrect =
information.=20
c.. Why? Because they will have egg on their faces for creating the =
news as opposed to reporting it?=20
d.. We've seen these tactics from them in the past. See Ralph =
Nielson's letter about "Lynching in Friendship Square". That's news? =
That's not inflammatory?=20
Whether or not any DN reporters are subscribed to this list, I am =
copying the Editor (Alford) and Managing Editor (McClure).=20
Let's just say that I'd love to see how this helps their circulation. =
It's all about the bottom line anyway, isn't it? To hell with "truth" =
and "accuracy".=20
I would hope that Vision2020 would be interested in truth in reporting =
and not just in slander and baiting for revenue's sake.=20
Best,
Dale

I agree with Ms. Huskey. If there are DN reporters subscribed to this =
list, could they present their side of this argument?
For a fact, are there any DN reporters subscribed to this list?

Dear Visionaries,
It is rare that I find myself in total agreement with our friends =
from Christ Church. This is one of those occasions. While there seems =
to be some confusion about when or where the anonymous flyers appeared, =
the notion that the DN relied on an unsigned document as a factual story =
basis is very disturbing. I know that some reporters from the DN read =
this list- serv - would any on them care to share their side of the =
story with us? If not, their credibility, it seems to me, is in a much =
more vulnerable position that Doug Wilson's. At least, to his credit, =
regardless of how unpopular or (in my opinion, deliberately =
inflammatory) he is never ashamed or reluctant to sign his name.
Best,
Rose Huskey
