Apparently, standards are slipping. Or maybe they are just seduced by the message. I've had letters published in the Washington Post, the Washington Times and the Baltimore Sun.Paul Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15876576362745819207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820485.post-49345628648207894742010-01-25T00:44:46.592-05:002010-01-25T00:44:46.592-05:00I have had a number of letters published in newspa...I have had a number of letters published in newspapers around the world, including the English language paper, Moscow Times. Only one, the Washington Post, verified my name and address. It also slightly edited my letter before publication and showed me the changes before publocation.<br /><br />Newspapers are very short handed nowadays. Twenty years ago this would never have happened. One paper I worked for was sued when a writer used another's name to distort his stand on an issue. Things tightened up very quickly after that.Corky Boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16363812378536729410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820485.post-25246488393102030832010-01-24T10:33:24.643-05:002010-01-24T10:33:24.643-05:00Over at Patterico, someone suggested "triangu...Over at Patterico, someone suggested "triangulating" Ellie Light's claimed residences with the nearest ACORN offices. Worth a shot. But I think the IP addresses are the real clue; in fact, I'll predict they can be traced to government office buildings in D.C., or public libraries in that city. In either case, it should be pretty easy to get to the bottom of this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12712369389411084085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820485.post-52688982096990065442010-01-24T01:08:56.877-05:002010-01-24T01:08:56.877-05:00I'm surprised the IP address hasn't been t...I'm surprised the IP address hasn't been tracked down. <br /><br />On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised if Ms. Light is registered to vote in all of those places!tfhrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08056518846851745411noreply@blogger.com
