... Let's get it started! As many readers already know, last Saturday the Washington Post ran Chris' eloquent oped refuting George Will's ridiculous February 15 column alongside a second by Michel Jarraud, the secretary general of the World Meteorological Organization. The Post should be commended on running these 'rebuttals'--even though theyshould have been termed 'corrections' since the original piece was inaccurate. Still, it's surely better to read counterpoints in print than see nothing at all and I have renewed faith in my old familiar DC paper. But don't complacently declare victory yet... Folks, we have work to do! Remember, a lot of other newspapers also ran Will's column. Brad Johnson over at Think Progress has compiled a list--not necessarily complete:
The Anniston Star (Alabama) Atlanta Journal-Constitution Asbury Park Press (New Jersey) The Bismarck Tribune The Boston Herald The Calgary Sun Canton Repository (Ohio) The Charleston Gazette Charlotte Observer The Chicago TribuneThe Columbia Daily Tribune Contra Costa Times Corpus Christi Caller-Times The Crescent-News (Defiance, Ohio) Deseret Morning News (Salt Lake City) The Detroit NewsHartford Courant Herald Times Reporter (Manitowoc, Wisconsin) The Kansas City Star The Kitsap Sun(Washington) Lewiston Morning Tribune The Mail Tribune (Medford, Oregon) Minneapolis Star -Tribune Mobile Register (Alabama) The Norwich Bulletin (Connecticut) Orange County RegisterPittsburgh Post-Gazette Pittsburgh Tribune Review Poughkeepsie Journal The Record (Bergen County, NJ) The Sacramento BeeSt. Petersburg Times San Diego Union-Tribune San Jose Mercury News (California) Staten Island Advance The Tallahassee Democrat The Times of Trenton (New Jersey) Topeka Capital-Journal The York Dispatch (York, PA)
If you see your local paper listed, consider getting in touch with editors to request they publish the Mooney-Jarraud rebuttals to set the record straight. Or pen your own...
