Editor,
You seem to have failed to notice or report (not even in the crime report section) the mic check that happened yesterday (Feb. 23) when University students disrupted Nonie Darwish’s lecture and got attacked by members of the crowd.
This, in any normal circumstances, should be headline news, and should also take priority over such relatively more trivial matters such as “Driver who hit student speaks” or “Club preps students for societal collapse.”
Instead, the Darwish lecture events were left seemingly unnoticed, at the expense of any understanding of common sense applied to reporting. My question towards you is this: Are there any reasons left at all for you, based on this small, but highly significant, episode, to be considered anything more than the very denial of the idea of fair and comprehensive reporting?
Best regards,
Eric Turner
