FG 17-17.

That's funny, because, just yesterday I was discussing with a work buddy of mine what he thought of the new student newspaper. We were looking at the section of the five people who gave their opionion on the nickname. My buddy said, quote, "Yeah, I bet they went out and took the first five people who spoke up for the nickname!" It's interesting how people can look at something and take away differing opinions, depending on their philosophical bent. That said, I think the alternative newspaper is a nice move for the campus community! I wish it much luck!

I thought KVLY's coverage was pretty slanted, as well.... just my opinion, Mikey, I mean, SiouxMeNow. Here's a little phrase you should learn before you criticize other media outlets-- "full disclosure." As a KVLY camera holder, you're not exactly unbiased are you, bud. That said, I agree with your shots on the Heraldo.

I think Goon hit the nail on the head. That's exactly what will happen... if no one volunteers. Marilyn isn't an official Herald/Forum Comm. employee.. Like Darrell Kohler and Naomi Dunavan, she is an adjunct columnist, getting paid by the line inch. They're not salaried, so they aren't affected directly buy the buyouts.

Quick edit: Not even if it's trash and drivel that we whole-heartedly disagree with. Thanks!

I totally agree. However, it's neither a "news story" nor is it "journalism." The letter in question is one man's twisted opinion on an extremely controversial issue. Letters-to-the editor, editorials and other content on the Op/Ed pages are not to be considered "news stories," the same as advertisements are not. The Herald may censor things from its news pages or Op/Ed pages, but I think most on this message board would agree, that we should not be advocating for censorship of any kind. Not even if it's trash and drivel that we whole-heartedly agree with. For as much as I read on here the mantras denouncing PC ideology and calls to support the 2nd Amendment, the NRA and the like, I would assume that most on this board would also stand by everyone's right to an opinion (unless it is libelous, of course.) I say let John Hoff and the other anti-name crowd spew their twisted logic as much as they want. It only helps to expose them for the nuts they are. And, while we're at it, I say let's give the Herald a back-handed pat on the back for printing this garbage and for helping the cause of those who want to support the Fighting Sioux nickname and logo.

I can't believe you bit on this one, BisonDan. Have fun.

The Washington Times printed this? That's the most conservative-leaning, anti-pc paper this side of the Wall Street Journal. What gives? I guess it's not just the bleeding-heart liberal rags that can't get their facts straight.

I don't love or hate the Herald. I just read it regularly like you and most everyone else on here. I was just trying to add my two cents on why I thought the story got buried. I was not defending anyone. I was not justifying anyone's actions either. Fact is: they were late on the story for whatever reason. So they touched on it and moved on. If they would have dwelled on it, they would have had to explain why they didn't notice the charged were dismissed in a month a go. If they had reported it the day of or the day after the court proceedings in question, the placement would have been different, I believe. I am saying they were embarrassed (and they should be) so they buried it. Do you understand my point now? I am being critical of the paper not supportive.

I think the burying had more to do with the paper being so embarrassed that it took them so long to discover that the charges were dropped (May!!! I mean, c'mon) than with some kind of conspiracy to downplay it.

But I thought enrollment wasn't indicative of quality of education? Hasn't that been the mantra of NDSU for decades? You finally convince me, and then you start putting out a different vibe. What gives?

When did this turn into a SU message board? I liked it better when it was back-and-forth smack between us and them. This whole thing with Bison fans chatting with each other on a Fighting Sioux board just isn't right. By the way, I like when people think outside the box ( I hate that term), but let's keep the game on this side of the Red River. And let's get it going again quickly.

Oh yeah! -- My dad can kick your dad's a$$!

I understand your point... but I hardly think UND's use of the nickname and logo has any bearing on the legacy of the Sioux people and whether they're remembered or not. We fans may try to inflate it to that level, but let's be realistic. Go Sioux, Beat BC!

Sadly, SoonerNSioux, you are totally right on the money with your comment. You call it like it is.
