I thin "Spin Alert" is coming to mean "WAAAH this article isn't saying what I want it to" on FR.

Or maybe it's a genuine spin alert. Some folks who were at the game that night, and who live in Norman, know better than you do whether what is being reported is true or not. If you had spent a little time reading PhiKapMom's (and others) posts on this topic, you might recognize this spin for what it is. Then again, it's much easier to come onto a thread and blast people who DO know what's going on, even when you don't.

I agree. The paranoid style in American politics hasn't completely shifted over to the left.

Well you're free to disagree, but IMHO when student journalists produce editorials that completely ignore facts and prefer to simply take for granted that government agencies, and their administrators are telling the truth, then I think we have a problem. Personally I would feel much safer if the FBI and OU could actually be trusted in this case. I suggest you read the summary I've been compiling at my blog if you aren't aware of all the facts that have come to light in this case...

Here's an interesting critique of the last editorial they put out by verteran journalist Mark Tapscott who has been doing his own investigating into this case as well...

Are There Any Real Journalists at OU?

Where have you gone, M. Rivero?
A forum turns its lonely eyes to you.
Woo woo woo.
