Thanks again for the flag, walrus954. :)

Jeb Bush's 6/23/02 published letter to the NYT about Rothstein's NYT column here

Oh, thank you! (I didn't have to also link after all!) :)

The interesting question is whether the Times editors understand that they sell left-wing opinion as fact, or whether they themselves are blind to the bias.

Good question. I'm inclined to say they know. But, I could be wrong. Also, see post #162 - Jeb's letter to the NYT, 6/23/02.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!! Thanks, Jimer. VERY clever there! :)

For an email address to the NYT, see the end of post #132 - you can send a "correction" in to the NYT. It would be nice if they printed it. But, I don't have this guy's email address. Let me know if you do email them and if you get a response. I am curious. Thanks. :)

Way to go, Jeb!

I can't believe I beat you to it! ;-)

BTW, Jeb's response was good, but yours was much more complete and informative. I would love to see Rothstein try to refute your analysis, but I know he won't because he can't.

Thanks for the ping- GO JEB!!

Exactly the kind of response to a newspaper reporter that should be done. The person Richard Rothstein is probably a nice normal guy. Newspaper reporters, however, write stories to sell newspapers and the advertising in them. They are whores. Why? Because they have no concern for public trust in a public information media. They will print lies or obfuscations because it sells. Truth usually doesn't

If they wrote a story stating that Jeb Bush was putting out a fair and balanced education finance package, there would be a few that would be interested. But the majority of the reading public wants DIRTY LAUNDRY.

I.E. We get what we pay for. If we pay for whores, that is what we get. Until the majority of the society changes what it wants, it is hard for GOOD policitians to get recognized when they do something GOOD for society.

WE will read stories about President Johnson (LBJ) and how we think he was in a conspiracy to kill John Kennedy.

BUT, we aren't interested in the major accomplishment of his presidency, an acccomplishment done by his wife. This was the highway beautification act, and it is the reason we can drive along our major highways and by-ways and actually SEE the SCENERY instead of ENDLESS BILLBOARDS.

So, SUMMER, while people like you and me and many others on FREE REPUBLIC campaign to promote the TRUTH, and the GOOD in the world, we all have a LONG UPHILL BATTLE. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!!!!

And CONGRATULATIONS to JEB BUSH for promoting a balanced educational aid package !!!!
