"question the impartiality of the newspaper's staff."

BWHAHAHAHA! After you saw the editor protesting Arnold....there is no question about their impartiality.

Nice meeting you Ben & hope you all had fun last night at the bar!

That statement was supposed to be tongue in cheek, since we all know how biased they are. Hopefully they will be able to set aside their prejudice enough to write a half decent article, but we'll see.

Someone also posted a copy of the article that they said had been updated with coverage of us. It might be that my eyesight or reading comprehension skills are a bit shoddy, but I still don't see any mention of FReep, CR's, or our protest. Am I missing something?

I just got off the phone with the managing editor of the Corsair who called me up in an attempt to explain himself and his actions at the protest. He told me that earlier that day he had been on campus when Arnold's motorcade showed up, and that security had made him step off campus onto the sidewalk in spite of his press credential. He apparently had an argument with security which, for whatever reason ended up with him standing outside the press box during the speech.

He said that his disruptive behavior was to protest his treatment by Arnold's security. I let him know what I thought about this, and he concluded that "we will never be in agreement" on the issue.

We talked at some length about press bias, and he assured me that the article posted is only the first in a series, and that we will be given plenty of coverage. He's going to call me tomorrow for an interview. We'll keep you posted.

BTW: It was nice to meet you all too last night.
