I have been reading the ongoing dialogue on the Salt Lake Tribune. Here comes my two cents worth.

I don't put alot of stock in the printed word of newspapers. I have had several occassions when I was involved directly in a story and the details were wrong and the quotes were wrong. I have yet to be in one that was totally accurate.

I have found that writer of such an article can skew things the way they want. Also, somtimes they just plain misquote a person and give a wrong impression.

Having said that I don't think the article can be taken word for word as accurate.

That is why I like the live interview and transcripts from those type of shows much better.

But it did give some interesting things for us to talk and read about!

But, but...wouldn't that be called libel???

And, and...wouldn't that constitute sandude's remark as being..."Smart Haters" ?

LIBEL

A false publication, as in writing, print, signs, or pictures, that damages a person's reputation. The act of presenting such material to the public.
