Kiki, I should tell you that when I first started writing reporters, I was very nice. My thinking was that they just don’t know what’s really going on, and I would be the nice guy and tell them, and then we would start seeing better stories come out of them.
But after months and months of market declines, I have lost my patience with them. So with Ms. Wedner, I really took her on. But I have dozens of e-mails on my computer written to various newspapers, including the U-T, which are VERY nice and informative, in the manner you proposed. I’m so fed up with shoddy reporting. Maybe I should just take my original e-mail to KPBS and the U-T, written in Dec. 05, and copy THAT to the reporters.
