My colleague followed up with Henry. We told her we understood OFA hadn't chartered the buses, but we wondered if she knew who had. She refused to answer the question and then hung up the phone. Seems like an overreaction to a news organization simply looking for a straight answer. Dems are so used to playing the press for fools, they were probably "taken aback" that anyone would ask. Shall we assume this reporter will be reprimanded by his liberal boss? There's a reason dems get a pass from the press...

Maybe Chris Gautz should send a copy of this to some of the larger more established papers - they haven’t been able to “see” this either. And some of the people feeding the big papers are the same ones renting the buses. Makes ya wonder...

No - DON’T cool your temper.
You see, the “impartial” - very-careful-to-confirm-everything writer of this article, deliberately put out the “official message” (a lie!) from Obama’s press chief that the REPUBLICANS were bussing in people and inciting the yelling ... which, strategically became “violence opposing healthcare reform.”
But here, four, five days AFTER the initial reports, despite clearly parking away from the event to hide the busses and after every potential excuse in the sun to cover the Obama’s socialists, the writer can only just barely mention the fact that, yes, democrats were being bussed in to the town halls.
THAT’S prejudiced reporting.

The chief criticism was that we failed to mention that some supporters were bused in from around the state. It is true, and it wasn't included in the original story, but not because we were trying to slant coverage. The simple truth is it was a difficult fact to nail down.... About 100 SEIU members attended, from as far away as Muskegon and Detroit, said Zac Altefogt, a spokesman for SEIU Healthcare Michigan.
Dem "rent a crowd" finally covered by a member of the press.

They “...couldn’t print speculation as fact.” Really? Really. Whatever happened to “some people say”? Or “sources speculate”? Or, “it has been alleged”? You know, the stuff they say when they needed to trash George Bush or other Republicans.

I'm still cooling my temper before I craft a response to this.

But in such a politically charged debate, we have to be careful about printing anything we cannot confirm. I take this to mean that they will never print anything that comes from the left?

I got curious about this Trinity Transportation and found that they seem to have had illegal alien smuggling problems with their freight hauling division in the past.
