Cincy Enquirer Engages in Spin and Rhetoric

...and I am not letting them get away with it.

In an article by a Mr. J. Craig of the Columbus Bureau, they totally mischaracterize the criticism of Strickland's 1999 present vote regarding H Con Res. 107 which would have condemned the pro pedophile report. In his article, Mr. Craig says:
He also suggested Strickland backed a U.S. House resolution supported by a group supporting pedophilia.

Um, no Mr. Craig, it is not like that at all. The vote in question was to condemn the APA report, and Strickland refused to take a stand. But, fifteen days later, he then went on a rampage, as highlighted to me by Bizzyblog, in which he said his colleagues who condemned the report were "not technically competent", they "had no right to criticize {Strickland's}fellow psych professionals, and Ted Strickland then accused them of "violating the 8th commandment.

What the Enquirer is doing is trying to paint it as if Blackwell is making some outlandish Jerry Springer Show type charge. That is not what is going on. What is going on is questioning the man's judgement. Couple this vote with Strickland's handling of his employee, and you get a reasonable doubt as to his judgement. In fact, I sent Mr. Craig an email. Here is his email address and I suggest all of you who know the truth to do the same and demand a retraction: jcraig@enquirer.com
