I ignored the person who contacted me for comment about the thread in question because my instinct told me they were lying about their intent (that instinct was proven correct when the person posted about it at the Daily Kos). However, if you had reached out to me from the Vancouver Sun I would have spoken with you about it.
But you had an agenda as a reporter, and plowed ahead without doing some basic fact checking. We expect nothing less from the media these days. An honest reporter would have at least mentioned their ties to the Daily Kos and that this hit originated there, so readers could discern for themselves whether there is a political agenda behind your article or if you were really writing for the betterment of all mankind.
Well said Kristinn....
Amen.
