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.

I knew your comment was tongue in cheek....that is why it was so funny. But, many reading the thread did not know the editor was protesting Arnold.

I guess now he will have to write an article on you guys since you caught him & called his bluff. But, I won't hold my breath.

We would appreciate being apprised of any news from the Corsair (school paper) as the links to a current edition of the Corsair online are kind of hit and miss. Thank You.

That would be ME. :o)

Notice the caption under the following picture:

Left Nathan Cox stands with a sign
calling Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger a liar
with Schwarzenegger supports all around him
on the corner of 16th and Pico in Santa Monica California.
The protest was held as Governor Schwarzenegger
spoke at the commencement ceremony
for the 75th anniversity graudation at Santa Monica College

That picture was taken right in front of OUR designated rally (at 16th and Pico) -- just AFTER some bozo planted himself (with his anti-Arnold "Liar" sign) directly in front of us...

...but BEFORE we had him removed, which was within a few minutes, or so.

Note how clumsily the Corsair photographer and/or editor cropped out almost everyone ELSE -- i.e. the 20 or 30 PRO-Arnold people -- who were standing on that corner.

Note also, the MISSPELLING of "Schwarzenegger supports," "anniversity," and "graudation."
