WE SURE HOPE SO

Now that WMD Bu$H is saving the Rest of the World

Grumpy Old Vin Suprynowicz writes some strange things in his RJ columns. Most that PROVE he has NO idea about how the system works. Example -  Children come home to empty houses because mom is out working just to pay the taxes on dad's paycheck.” He ends his column with “Coming up soon: Required referenda 6 through 12. Some of which are lots better. WE SURE HOPE SO. mailto:LVKen7@peoplepc.com

THINK BEFORE YOU READ.

Vin Letter

Before you read this posting – think – it was written by an RJ reporter.

So, turn on your skeptical mind before reading. One thing we DO know is that a LOT of the RJ reporting is “Malicious”.

Monday, I will contact ALL of the players, and will report it and ALL updates here, in my LVRJ Blogger.  <<< Click to read.

The RJ can NEVER BE ACCUSED OF “aggressive, thorough and fair reporting” as the article indicates.

The Players are - Vin Suprynowicz, Justices Bob Rose, Miriam Shearing and Deborah Agosti, RJ Editor Thomas Mitchell, general counsel for the Review-Journal Mark Hinueber, editorial page editor John Kerr, and Carri Geer Thevenot, who wrote this article.

The following is MY editing of the article. I edited it to make it easier to understand.

Letter demands newspaper retract statements <<< Click for the full article.

By CARRI GEER THEVENOT                               REVIEW-JOURNAL

Saturday, July 26, 2003

The Review-Journal received a letter Friday demanding that the newspaper retract statements made in an opinion column about three Nevada Supreme Court justices.

 

Las Vegas attorney Dominic Gentile wrote the letter on behalf of Justices Bob Rose, Miriam Shearing and Deborah Agosti.

 

Mark Hinueber, general counsel for the Review-Journal, said the letter is a procedural step required under Nevada law before filing a defamation lawsuit. Mitchell said a process server delivered the letter to him.

 

According to Suprynowicz's column, he had lunch on July 1 with a retired Nevada judge who told him: "The fix is in. Guinn went to Rose and Shearing on the Supreme Court some time ago and got their agreement that they'll impose the tax hikes. Agosti is wavering, but it'll probably be 6-to-1.

 

Later in the column, Suprynowicz wrote, "And so the thin veneer that had still duped many of us into believing we had a government of law, and that our political leaders were not bought-and-paid-for shills of the gaming industry and the big government unions, has now been stripped aside ..."

 

"That such a statement is an accusation and allegation of bribery and corruption in its common meaning in the present day is irrefutable," the attorney wrote.

 

In a telephone interview Friday afternoon, Rose said Suprynowicz's column made "false and malicious allegations."

 

"The Review-Journal was irresponsible in even printing those allegations without doing any checking or investigating," the justice said.

 

Rose said the column specifically accused him of committing a crime. "When you're fixing a judge, it is a crime," he said.

 

In Gentile's letter, he cites a portion of the Society of Professional Journalists' code of ethics that states, "Journalists should diligently seek out subjects of news stories to give them the opportunity to respond to allegations of wrongdoing."

 

Hinueber described Gentile's demand letter as "an outrageous attempt to chill the Review-Journal's aggressive, thorough and fair reporting on the Nevada Supreme Court and to discover confidential sources of the newspaper."

 

According to a U.S. Supreme Court decision, public officials must show that a journalist acted with actual malice in order to succeed with a libel case.

 

"I'm glad I wrote the column," Suprynowicz said. "I think we need a public discussion of this issue."

BUT HE LEFT OUT THE ASSUMPTION THERE WERE WMD.

Paul Wolfowitz – is the guy that kept beating the drums to – GO TO WAR WITH IRAQ – NOW he admits these pre-war assumptions were wrong - that some Iraqi Army units would switch sides, Iraqi Police would help maintain security; and that regime remnants would not resort to guerrilla tactics.

Warlord Paul Bremer, it will take up to $13 billion "to rebuild and meet foreseeable power demands." latest plan will restore electricity, water and healthcare to pre-war levels in Iraq within two months.

They NEVER reveal the “evidence” tho.

Warlord Bremer, on Sunday, told the beloved FoxSnooze  "There has been some evidence of planning for the possibility of losing the war militarily and going into some kind of insurgency or organized resistance,"
