The fact is that this board line is, was, and will be a piece of newsspeak, where up is down, and hot is cold. It has nothing to do with the reality of the Board's plans or actions. It has been chosen as a slogan in an attempt to force the opposition to respond to the slogan instead of the very different reality. This article failed to grasp that utterly. But, it has a great pic of a gagged protester, and lists a whole bunch of our websites for readers to get info.
Any press is valuable.
I wish all reporters understood this and wrote with the clarity that Peter Goodman has, but ya can't have everything. Folks, it is very important that you understand this. If you believe that this is a dispute of staffing, you lose sight of the scale of the Board's takeover ambitions, a project that began about 8-10 years ago, before Murdock, Chadwick, Wash and Berry were even on the board or staff. There is an anology to the American government. If Chadwick had not replaced Pat Scott, someone else in sympathy with the corporatization agenda would have been put in instead.
