   BillT 1024am – Mr Tozer, does that then mean that my oft professed ‘I am a child, student, and defender of western civilization.’ is really code for ‘white pride’?

   Well Dr. Rebane, I dunno. I will go out on a limb and say you do not embrace the Democratic Socialist Party’s political societal goals which were liberal to the max. Universal health care and the whole shebang. When those liberal talking points turned to tyranny, World War 2 put an end to that. Poor Germany and its liberal very progressive social policies in the 30’s and 40’s. Took half a century for the policies to rise again. 🙂

   Yet another of the FUE’s petty criticisms of The Union, titled, “Only two people respond to The Union publisher’s editorial page challenge,” was posted about 10:00 PM on Thursday, February 11, 2016 and is an example of the FUE’s ignorance, agenda, and hypocrisy.
   The first sentence begins, “Western Nevada County has about 60,000 residents, yet only two (0.00003333333) responded to Publisher Jim Hemig’s editorial page challenge…” The number in parentheses is very curious. Without units one has to deduce its intended purpose. From context, it would appear that the FUE intended to express the percentage of residents who responded but this number is, instead, the ratio of the numbers two and 60,000. What is more, this number violates the principles of accuracy and precision. The ratio of values with one significant digit should be expressed with only one significant digit. The number should have been given as “(0.003%)”.
   The FUE then points out that one of the two respondents was Jo Ann Rebane, which is interesting and relevant, but goes on to point out that her husband is George Rebane which is in no way relevant. In the course of this irrelevancy the FUE manages to first correctly and then incorrectly spell Jo Ann’s name in consecutive sentences
   The other respondent goes unnamed which I feel is probably because that person’s identity provided no opportunity to point out that his or her spouse is a “hard-right political activist and blogger.”
   After quoting Jim Henig the FUE sets out to correct Henig with a sentence that is syntactically incorrect. It begins, “No Jim…” but should have begun “No, Jim…”
   I don’t think that the FUE is ever going to get that failing to live up to the standards to which he holds others is hypocritical and unbecoming of the veteran editor and award-winning journalist that he so frequently reminds others of being.

   Huzzah William……I’m beginning to think our gal….with a little assist from patriotic mainstream journalists will attain her goal!
   

   Of the 16,000 words uttered by Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and moderators Gwen Ifil and Judy Woodruff, not one of them concerned Clinton’s deepening email scandal. Not one mention of the words email, e-mail, private server or FBI.
   Not a single media question or opponent mention of the huge legal cloud hanging over the party’s presumptive nominee. Nor of the ongoing FBI investigation into unauthorized use of her unsecured private email server for government business, including loose handling of Top Secret documents endangering national security intelligence-gathering and covert operations.
   Not any reference to the State Department Inspector General’s subpoena to the Clinton Foundation exploring possible connections between foreign government donations possibly trying to curry favor during Clinton’s four-year tenure as Obama’s secretary of State.
   Oh, and not a single word either about Benghazi, the murder of four Americans there, the phony video excuse, the lack of rescue or reinforcement attempts and any Clinton responsibility for the well-documented poor consulate security. Nothing on tax or entitlement reforms. National debt.
   A complete pass for Hillary Clinton. Whoosh! Home free. Other than that, it was a serious grilling about being female, admiring Obama, taxing the rich more, free stuff and other liberal issues.
   It’s as if Judy Woodruff, Gwen Ifill, and PBS were just trying to help the Democrats or something.

   Right on, Mr. Kesti. Good report, but most likely over the FUE’s lovely head. He could open his mind the tiniest of cracks and learn from the likes of you to overlook the small flaws and imperfections of his fellowman and see the bigger picture. Old habits are hard to break I reckon. At least our esteemed yet underappreciated Grammarian Laureate is not the dreaded spelling nazi. Must be in the FUE’s DNA.

    Memo to Michael R. Kesti: The publisher’s name is Jim “Hemig” not “Jim Henig.” Even if “fish” gave you an “A” grade, you just got a Medill “F” for your blogosphere “commentary.” A real substantive error, not a petty one. ROFLOL.
    Reply

    Given your predilection for obsessing over the typos of others while completely disregarding your own substantive versus non-substantive is moot. As an example…..substantive…..fucking up your own mothers memorial tribute. Non-substantive….hitting the “n” key when you meant to strike “m”.
    It’s poor form for you to play fast and lose with the facts jeffy.

    FUE (posted to his blog) 12 Feb 16 7:10 am
    I acknowledge that I did twice misspell Jim Hemig’s name. I would correct these errors if I could edit my comments to RR. The FUE, however, did not acknowledge his errors nor, despite his usual practice, has he made any corrections to his article. It would seem that his journalistic integrity ends where he finds something about others to criticize.

    Pelline is always urging KVMR and The Union to apply the same standards to their opinion features as The New York Times to improve the quality of their offerings.
    What he doesn’t bother to mention is that the Times has 19 full-time employees on its editorial board, who devote their time to the editorials, columns and opinion pieces that appear in the paper. The Union has just 11 full-time editorial employees while KVMR has a lot of volunteers.
    Is that a fair comparison? Of course not, but fair has nothing to do with it if it advances Jeffy’s agenda.
