First we claimed that they had run five editorials against Ted Yoho.  They claim to have run one.  Their definition of "editorial" appeasr to be an article on the editorial page that list no author.  By their definition, in the time frame that we specified, they ran two editorials, not one.  One was on October 4th, with a title referring to the Congressman as "Downright Dangerous" and the other was on October 7th titled, "Dear Re. Yoho."

  

The others were articles by Nathan Crabbe and Ron Cunningham, on the Editorial Page, so we presumed to refer to them as editorials.  Shame on us.  Actually, we still think they count.

  

Next, by selectively editing a quote from their own paper, Doug Ray would have you believe that they did NOT put Ted Yoho in the same category as Terry Jones and single Tim Tebow out of that group.  Doug quotes the Cunningham editorial as thus:

  

  

  

Doug then goes on to state:

  

  

That was a clever trick, but Doug Ray dropped a very important sentence from the original Cunningham opinion piece.  It goes like this:

  

  

In that one sentence, a Gainesville Sun article set Tim Tebow apart and left Congressman Yoho in the same category as a man that spews the kind of nonsensical hate that comes from Terry Jones.  Whether the Gainesville Sun agrees with the Congressman's position, or not, we think what they did was journalistic malpractice.

  

In the very next paragraph, Doug Ray, claims that he answered the letters that were civil, as if the Sun grouping Ted Yoho with Terry Jones and referring to him as "Downright Dangerous" was civil.

  

Doug's email address is below.  I encourage you to tell him what you think about his selective use of his own paper to justify their bad behavior.  But, be civil.  Let's not stoop to their level.

  

Our advice to the Gainesville Sun is that they examine how they handled themselves in that 10 day period of time.  They didn't just express an opinion.  They sought to do damage.
