Bush speech a call to arms
This speech sounds like a campaign stop, not an address to the nation. The speech will take place at Museum Center at Union Terminal with around 500 invited guests. I would like to compare the guest list to a list of GOP contributors. I bet the only Democrats there will be the Mayor, and those city council members invited. I also wonder how fast protestors can organize and be there. We might draw the progressive-populists down from Antioch and Columbus for a real “teargastic” party. I will be looking for my invite in the mail. I am sure I would be the first person the local GOP would think to invite. After all, I am now “on par” with Willie Cunningham and Peter Bronson, who I am sure, will be in attendance.

Comair adds flights to Erie
I grew up about an hour from Erie, PA. It is not a city many people visit.

THE_CINCINNATI_BOYCOTT_FRAUD
A new website (MSN group) against the boycott. This website gets personal, including detailed profiles of the usual suspects involved in the boycott. There are only a few members thus far, so where they editor plans on going with it is yet to be seen.

Rob Williams Out of Legal Trouble
Mike McConnell has reported on his 700WLW-AM radio problem that Rob Williams, morning anchor for FOX19, was cleared by a grand jury on a charge of passing a bad check. This report has not made the local television news and did not make today's papers. Mike made a valid comment about how all to often when people have legal trouble the media rarely follows up to report that those troubles pass without action. I do not know the details as to how this case was resolved, but Mr. Williams was back to work today. I would make a suggestion to Mr. Williams: always pay for airline tickets with a credit card.

An Email from Nate Livingston
I guess I have riled up the little racist. My little blog here has somehow catapulted me into a category with the likes of Peter Bronson and Willie Cunningham. I of course am nothing but a two-bit amateur blogger, but I have to thank Nate for his backhanded praise. Here is the email:

Subj: RE: FW: [cincyboycott] Forum -- this Thursday, October 3, "Straightening Out the Lies"Since I am writing and posting while this event is going on, it is obvious I did not go. The event is billed as and "open forum." That translates to: anyone can come, but you will have to just shut up and listen to us. They seem to indicate they have a video. I would like to know how much they edited it. I would bet they edited it extensively, and I bet they also could have altered it. This assumes there really is a video, but I think even they cannot get around lying about that simple fact, although they could try. I will be listening to the radio tomorrow and reading the papers to see if I get any attention from Nate or the CJC. I would guess they would stick with the heavy weights. I am sure Nate just threw me a bone as a little jab. If Nate were not such a low life, this would be fun.

I was just glancing at the "Gannett Newspaper Division Principles of Ethical Conduct For Newsrooms" which states "[W]e [Gannett] will hold factual information in opinion columns and editorials to the same standards of accuracy as news stories", and that "[b]ecause these Principles embody the highest standards of professional conduct, the Gannett Newspaper Division is committed to their adherence. They have been put in writing specifically so that members of every Gannett Newspaper Division newsroom know what the Division stands for and what is expected of them. The public will know, too." [ http://www.gannett.com/job/jobs/principles.htm ]
Where is Gannett's Newspaper Division President, Gary L. Watson, the Enquirer's Publisher, Harry Whipple, or Managing Editor, Rosemary Goudreau, to enforce Gannett's ethics policy and hold Peter Bronson accountable for the blatant lies he continues to tell, including those he told in his column last Sunday, or to deal with the Enquirer's ethical problems in general? [ http://enquirer.com/editions/2002/09/29/loc_bronson_making.html ]
The Coalition For A Just Cincinnati has asked to me with the news editor. We have asked to meet with the editorial board. But the Enquirer doesn't seem interested in acting reasonably and responsibly. What will it take to get the this Gannett newspaper to act ethically and professionally? Does Ms. Goudreau have to be fired like the Enquirer's last editor, Lawrence Beaupre? Or does the Enquirer have to be sued like it was from Mr. Lindner and Chiquita? (Oh, I see that the Enquirer was sued just a few days ago for printing more false information about African Americans.)
While these thing are happening, I have to ask, where is the Cincinnati Media Collaborative?
THE COALITION FOR A JUST CINCINNATI WILL RESPOND TO LIES BY PETER BRONSON, PAT BARRY (BARRY TINGLY), WILLIE CUNNINGHAM, THE "NEWSBOY REJECT" BRIAN GRIFFIN, AND OTHERS WHO HAVE ACCUSED US OF BEING DISHONEST AND WHO HAVE REFUSED TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED DURING OCTOBERFEST. I'm sure that once the videotape is shown, the defenders of white rioters will continue to make excuses for the violent bahavior of white Cincinnatians.
Please attend:
WHAT:
"Straightening Out the Lies" -- a forum open to the Press and to the Public, sponsored by the Coalition for a Just Cincinnati.
WHEN:
Thursday, October 3, 2002,
6:30-8:30 p.m.
WHERE:
Temple Bible College, 3202 Reading Road, Cincinnati 45229 (Avondale)
WHY:
Find out what really happened during Octoberfest and the Red Hot Weekend. Why did the police refuse to protect peaceful, non-violent citizens? Why did the "news" media look the other way? Why have members of the media, including Peter Bronson and Mike McConnell (700wlw) continued to lie about what happened?
In Solidarity,
The Coalition for a Just Cincinnati
Bush coming to Cincinnati
The Post has the better story. Bush will be making a big speech here, exact location to be determined, about his case for attacking Iraq. It is not known if this is a part of a series of stops or a big national event. It is reportedly to be open to the public, but that no might be as simple as showing up to where the event is held and going in. I hope the speech is held somewhere downtown. Bush can't personally add anything to the local "strife," but having the President of the United States break the boycott is not a bad thing.
