It opened on Monday. I had to call the paper because the number they gave was incorrct, of course. The local line is not up yet, so the number is 505-249-7152. They left out the area code, so of course, it will confuse anybody who wants to call (including me).
I wound up talking the Exec. Editor who said they would probably print a correction.
Then we had a long conversation and he did his defense of the media, saying there's nothing "nefarious" being done in the press and that the balanced view is the the one most heard...I bit my tongue.
He is against "clustering"--the local papers being homogenized by groups running the business end as one entity and intefering with local control.
The guy was with the LA Times at one point....
He actually thought after 911 people got energized and cared for awhile...this in my comments about post-911 being manipulated. He actually said that it was a good thing and I asked him HOW? and he came back with that crap about Americans wanting to know more.
So I then said then why didn't we get more info what happend before 911? and why wasn't there more questioning about what the Bush secrecy was all about and why the Commission was doing a whitewash? And he asked me....WOULD IT SELL ADVERTISING?? And I responded--You bet it would sell advertising if people were told what had gone one...I mean, if they saw the list of all the questions....including, why didn't the planes go up??????? I'm still wondering why that didn't happen....
And then I said goodbye-I know you're a busy man....because I didn't want to jeopardize my getting the Clark correction!!!
