In light of the recent firestorm the N&O helped create regarding Johnston Co. Sheriff Steve Bizzell, it is even more infuriating that the N&O can target public figures but remain immune when their own bias is exposed. My trust in the N&O is all but erased now, and I feel somewhat naive for ever seeing the N&O as a credible news source.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-63327800976378935472008-09-11T13:30:00.000-04:002008-09-11T13:30:00.000-04:00I'm a former N&Oer and can tell you on goo...I'm a former N&Oer and can tell you on good source that the writer of memo wasn't Drescher, but was another editor at the paper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-90009314973639964262008-09-09T13:54:00.000-04:002008-09-09T13:54:00.000-04:00John,I will say that the internal email was stunni...John,<BR/><BR/>I will say that the internal email was stunning to me, and it was also an example of just how partisan the supposedly "objective" N&O staff really is.<BR/><BR/>I'm with you, in that after reading it, I am not surprised at all that the N&O would play an active role in trying to frame innocent people of rape because of the color of their skin, and the location of their home addresses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-24100807169117568832008-09-08T22:45:00.000-04:002008-09-08T22:45:00.000-04:00I think you need to reread Gearino's post, John.

Like the N&O, the V-P doesn't respond to questions about its biased reporting, and considers the questioners biased. The V-P publishes an occasional editorial cartoon that is other than leftwing, and has some "front office conservative columnists," but the editorial page lists so far to the left it nearly tilts my kitchen table when I try to read it. Dowd and Krugman are not only predictable, they're absolutlely boring. I learned long ago that writing letters and asking questions gets me nowhere, so I gave up.<BR/> I respect you greatly for your persistence, but I wonder what you could accomplish if you were to spend all that time and energy doing something that had some likelihood of success. You must realize your efforts to get the N&O to admit guilt and to mend its ways are for naught. One should never argue with a man who buys ink by the barrel.<BR/>Tarheel HawkeyeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
