Nate quite correctly pointed out the inconsistencies, illogic and just
plain bad journalism which the San Diego Union-Tribune showed in its
report of our protesting laws which restrict learning and teaching of
literacy. The press in covering what they call the reading wars has
certainly not distinguished themselves as logical, consistent and
following the standards of good journalism. In fact I have a thickening
file of press reports of reading laws that show open advocacy,
disinformation and selective reporting.
