Something to remember about Channel 9 -- they are tied to The Oklahoman and OU Daily whose reporters have been doing a bang up job even though they are having trouble their sources to talk on the record. The Gaylord Family who owns the Oklahoman has a member on the OU Board of Regents and NO ONE is going to tell her they #1 cannot investigate and #2 cannot report if they have two sources.
Her Dad gave millions for the new Gaylord College of Journalism building with the express intent that the College lean right and turn out ethical journalist. They are doing just that -- truth sees the light of day with those up and coming young journalist with an advisor that is as ethical in the field of journalism as you will ever find.
when I was taking my photos of the bench and the south oval area around it, I ran into a photog from the OU Daily. I told him I didn't usually care for his paper, but that they were doing a really good job on this story. He said he'd mention it to his editors. (Editors like pats on the back, even third or fourth hand.)
