I would just like to point out that my article has an editing error in it: a few parts of my article were in italic and those italics were lost, removing some part of the meaning of the article.
So, here is a guide to help you:
In the first paragraph, the last 2 words of the first list (It's as) and the first 8 words of the second line are in italics.
Next the middle of the article, there is a massive paragraph listing the various referendums. I then have a single sentence referencing the last one. You know, it literally starts with "That liast one is great...". Well, everything between the comma and the "In Talossa" is in italics.
Finally, the last 5 words of the article are in Italics, if you don't know yet why there were, these five will tell you why...

As usual, I did edit contributor work, including typeface decisions. I apologize if you felt your intended meaning was lost... I thought this made it more clear, but I could be wrong.

I assume by Glodaral's response article in ETT that the editor's "investigation" into the "cartoon exchange" told him what everyone with two brain cells to rub together were already telling him - that it was an obvious hoax? Of course, said editor is too pompous and arrogant to publicly apologise to his political opponents who told him so.

Oh, and I bet the Corrections column once again says something like "None. We're scrumdiddlyumptious and onanistic."

You're not too far off Seriously though, I think if you would actually read the issue, you'd find that Beric'ht is not at all afraid of looking critically at itself.

I can't read the issue because I won't give A. Davinescù a hand-job by subscribing. Let me know when it's free-to-air. And I am right that he at no stage mentions that I, Carlüs and others told him so, does he?

Well, Miestra, I do talk about you in my article, or rather, about one of your bills ;-)
As always, my article is totally apolitical and in no way in support of the RUMP or the coalition or anything like that.
I write for ETT and for BT for different reasons.
In BT, I like the idea of writing a short column every 2 weeks, with a deadline, and a wide distribution in a timed newspaper: no one will really decide "Hey, let's read old issues of BT".
However, for ETT, I can spend days researching on historical subjects, write long or short articles, I don't have a deadline, but more importantly, it's a Blog, meaning I can easily link to other pages and articles, something BT can't really do well.
So, as a person, and as Secretary of State, I publish my opinions and anouncements in BT.
But as a man interested in History, I use ETT.
So I hope Miestra, that if you can find it in your heart, you will at least read my own article, since until QI returns, it's where my columns will go.
Now, if you want to talk about QI, I am listening...

Look, MPF, BT is the primary recruiting method left for the burned-out RUMP party and its increasingly isolated and deranged leader. The sooner we let it die the sooner that political stain on our nation dies out as well, and we can perhaps move forward to Talossan politics unpoisoned by the kind of cronyism and systematic falsehood that that party imposed on Talossa over its 9 terms in office.

So you're both saying that you might go into government with the RUMP next time. Well, hope you let all the voters know this. If I have any say in the matter, and I do, the Free Democrats will definitely not do so. I ideally want a repeat of the current Coalition in the next Cosâ, and I'm shocked and appalled that one of our partner parties wants to cut loose to see if the A. Davinescù Ego Gratification Party will offer them a better deal. Ah. Is that verbal hand-job the reason why Gluc is now once more happy to let you back into government?

Our reporting staff is limited, and we didn't have everyone able to contribute this time. We have covered all the other conventions, though, so don't worry - we'll do the MRPT one, too

Issue #27 of Beric'ht Talossan, the paper rated both the most truthful and the least biased of today's Talossan media organizations, is open to the public!

Yep, as predicted, Davinescu's waffle on the ESM embarrassment says nothing and takes no responsibility. Pathetic.

You're not too far off Seriously though, I think if you would actually read the issue, you'd find that Beric'ht is not at all afraid of looking critically at itself. Indeed. When Gluc designed and implemented the survey, we didn't know what we would find. If the survey had revealed that the Talossans we reached (in which active citizens are probably over-represented) considered Beric'ht Talossan to be more biased than other media, or even just filled with lies, then we still would have published it. Beric'ht Talossan is certainly flawed, and we can always do better. We'll continue to try to do better. But we're not afraid of the truth - we go after it. In case you can't tell, I am seriously proud of Gluc's efforts here in this issue! It took a huge amount of work, but he did an amazing job!
