Editor,
It’s publications like the Daily Bobo that are contributing to the decline of journalism as the world knows it. Monday’s “GPSA clarifies eight (8) amendments” showed blatant disregard for the basic principles of fair and accurate reporting. The Bobo chose to run an over-hyped and dare I say it, sensational piece riddled with controversial “facts” about GPSA’s so-called “meeting” to “clarify” these supposed “amendments.”
Sure, I understand Bobo editors’ temptation to run the story. It was a 180-degree flip from the Bobo’s typical mundane, dreary reporting. I also enjoy reading fun and exciting news stories that break away from the same-old, same-old just as much as the next guy. But after reading that article even I had to pop a Xanax, lie down for a few hours and miss my Monday basket-weaving class. Thanks a lot. Especially after reading the end, “Other amendments are simple changes that make the constitution consistent, Knudsen said, such as adding numbers in parentheses after numbers are spelled out.” Eek. It even gives me chills repeating it here. Who did you have to pay to obtain such “information?” This story was nothing more than drivel in the spirit of supermarket tabloids!
Come on guys, cut GPSA some slack. They just lost the law school and now that they’re gone, others will inevitably come to their senses and follow suit. They are
basically up the creek without a paddle. Pretty soon, GPSA’s membership will dwindle down until it is just Lissa Knudsen and Danny Hernandez, declaring no-confidence in all of the other competent institutions and holding 36-hour meetings concerning comma placement in their new amended constitution.
Now, I’m not asking the Bobo issue for a public apology. Just a private one. At my house. Involving every last Bobo staff member as well as freelance writer for the past five years. All I ask is that you draw me an oatmeal bath, fix me a cobb salad and reimburse me for the basket weaving class I had to miss due to the over-stimulating piece of “reporting” in your “newspaper.”
Love,
Liz Vicious
