My LTTE was printed in the Star Tribune today!
It's the first one, "Passing on lies"
All thanks to mediamatters.org for the background:

1. Good letter.
It made one point forcefully and quickly, and did not get bogged down in so many of the peripheral issues that it would be so easy to get bogged down in because they are so important too.

Therefore one can easily and quickly read it, and I believe that many will.

2. Excellant letter! Great job. Good to set them straight each & every time
they report inaccurately. The only way to get the truth out is to hammer at those who are too lazy to look for it and just go for the talking point.

That was a great, concise and no-nonsense letter you wrote.

Keep after them, you have a gift.

4. Actually
It was a NY Times/AP article and I did point that out in the letter but they edited it out.
They also edited out my last line:

"It seems that fact-checking is a dying art in the media these days."

Otherwise, everything else is there.

6. They shouldn't be reprinting Drudge's lies
no matter the origin of the story.

Again, my congratulations to you on an excellent job.

5. Wow! Great LTTE! I'm so glad you got the message out about
Drudge. A lot of people need to know that Drudge is in lockstep with the neocons.
:applause:
