How does the Evergreen expect any public pro-Wal-Mart comments from students when PARD includes an Associate Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, the Chair of the Sociology Department, and the Vice Chair of the English Department, not to mention a bevy of other professors and graduate teaching assistants?<BR/><BR/>Don't forget how free speech is viewed in the College of Liberal Arts: http://palousitics.blogspot.com/2005/12/enough-is-enough.htmlTom Forbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02080804561058476349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13796804.post-1161884561347824542006-10-26T10:42:00.000-07:002006-10-26T10:42:00.000-07:00I don't care what TV Reed says, as the Associate D...I don't care what TV Reed says, as the Associate Dean of the College of Liberal Arts - he has a great deal of influence on these kids.Victoria Dehlbomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05535714825614314988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13796804.post-1161864617940857782006-10-26T05:10:00.000-07:002006-10-26T05:10:00.000-07:00The Daily Evergreen will never be Pullman's "Paper...The Daily Evergreen will never be Pullman's "Paper of Record".<BR/>I also remenber the articles April refers to.<BR/>Talking nasty in print and promoting the socialist views of your mentors doesn't make you a community newspaper.Uncle Bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10286752474122512203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13796804.post-1161843234129393342006-10-25T23:13:00.000-07:002006-10-25T23:13:00.000-07:00Maybe they were saving ink for the how-to articles...Maybe they were saving ink for the how-to articles on anal sex for Wednesday's Hump Day column.

The Opinion page must maintain certain standards regarding public discourse on behalf of our readers."<BR/><BR/>Standards? Ah, that explains why Chris Lupke was allowed to say "If Wal-Mart has its way, say good-bye to public schools" in the Evergreen last year http://www.dailyevergreen.com/story/15148 or the letter from PARDner James "Uncle Buck" Krueger earlier this year that stated, "The arguments from the opposing side encompass property rights and an apparent new constitutional right to shop in disregard of community and responsibility to one’s fellow man" http://palousitics.blogspot.com/2006/01/uncle-buck-speaks.htmlTom Forbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02080804561058476349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13796804.post-1161838631153062602006-10-25T21:57:00.000-07:002006-10-25T21:57:00.000-07:00This is typical.

The Evergreen is forever complaining that students are not considered members of the community, but at the first opportunity they run for cover, reminding us that they are students first, community members second.

Apparently, he just assumes BREO is made up of old, greedy townies. In fact, many of our members, like Vice-Chair Joshua Coke, are students.<BR/><BR/>"The Evergreen would also consider covering or running direct statements from Wal-Mart because the company has not issued many comments on the local store."<BR/><BR/>Basically, they'd like to hear from anybody except the people that will be most affected by the Supercenter.Tom Forbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02080804561058476349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13796804.post-1161833608187673882006-10-25T20:33:00.000-07:002006-10-25T20:33:00.000-07:00The Evergreen's response is very discouraging.

Back during the city council election and the Wal-Mart hearings, I also had letters that were never published and two other Wal-Mart supporters told me that their letters weren't published. How many other differing opinions, no matter the issue, are being suppressed. In my mind, this marginalizes the Evergreen to an agenda driven publication. Sigh. <BR/><BR/>I agree with Pullman Chamber Guy. The Pullman Herald is greatly missed. Pullman needs and deserves to have it's own newspaper. I am not knocking the Daily News, but it is written from a Moscow point of view. The Whitman County Gazette is written from a Colfax point of view and the Tribune is written from a Lewiston point of view. We need a Pullman point of view.April E.

The Daily Evergreen has never reperesented the views of the people of Pullman. The Evergreen always bashed the local police, complained about the lack of stores in Pullman and how boring it is in the Palouse. <BR/>The Evergreen is the most liberal biased fish rag I have ever read. Half of the writers need to use spell check or take English 101. I remember the 2004 election and the Evergreen only showed the election results of the people/intitatives that they endorsed and won. No mention of the scandal over the theft of the election of governor by Commissar Gregiore.Satanic Mechanichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222551578840670157noreply@blogger.com
