The DN Editors made the following "note" in today's paper:
_____
Editor's note: During the interview for "Slavery Revisited," a story on a
booklet written by Doug Wilson and J. Steven Wilkins that appeared in the
Daily News Oct. 11 & 12, Wilson stated the conference agenda did not
expressly include history and slavery as a topic, but that the items would
be discussed. Wilson disagrees the statement was made. He asserts the
information is incorrect, saying the conference is on revolution and
modernity, not slavery. The Daily News stands by its report.
Wilson had a full length opinion piece on Oct. 15 further clarifying his
position.
_____
What really should be news is that Wilson has no idea what this conference
is about. Someone must have really hoodwinked him.
Or perhaps the reporter was confused by the anonymous flier that was being
used for the story? After all, that flier is the only thing that said the
conference was on slavery.
For the Record: the Daily News has violated every editorial ethic (as
published by the AP: http://www.apme.com/about/code_ethics.shtml) doing this
article. It will come back to haunt them in loss of respect and the people
being leery to believe what is written in the DN.
Also, I'd highly recommend that anyone who isn't from the liberal left who
gives an interview to the DN be sure to take an audio recording and keep the
original for yourself.
Lastly, if you want some unbiased reporting, I recommend the LMT. They seem
to have their act together when it comes to accurately reporting Moscow
issues.
Best,
Dale
