7. could you explain the connection between "the hairy tale of new york" and Obama?
Unless I'm reading too much into "the fairy tale ot New York" (the original title of this thread), it appears you're under the impression that Obama's from NY.

(Speaking of which, the word you were seeking for Obama was "concede", as most people who write for a living are aware.)

<< and as long as they meet basic standards we will probably publish them >>

Flashback:
I was Bev Harris's publisher back in the distant past and if Febble or OTOH ever wrote anything worth publishing I would be happy to be their publisher too.

That's quite a standard! To reiterate my last unanswered question:

Anyway, if Liddle and Lindeman sent a press release (god forbid) to <editor@scoop.co.nz >, would it be published alongside the corporate apologias, Freedom House inspired exit poll legends promoting the reversal of elections with a fictional branch of statistics, and fun facts about energy companies? Or do people need to agree with you in advance to be "worth publishing"? It's difficult to believe that Bev Harris and weekly Solid Energy encyclicals are "worth" it, while actual research by actual researchers is found lacking in your selection process; that isn't "disintermediated" so much as "disintermediated from reality".

Can you explain what these "basic standards" are? Because it seems you have no problem publishing and defending press releases by an energy company in the process of defending its practice of infiltrating left wing organizations in New Zealand. The fact that you're now promoting anti-Obama (bold: "The Real Story on Obama") and anti-Clinton "stories" in a country you can't claim as your own should raise a few eyebrows, especially when you possess no apparent familiarity with the geography of the land.

never beleive your own bs - Frank Haden

That's "believe".
