The idea for this extended examination of a news story began on the thread 'Pay to play' concerns fueling Simon's gubernatorial hopes. There d14truth became so fed up with the bias in this one news report that he started to dissect and reword the article.

Encouraged by myself and others, he expanded the initial effort into a dissection of the whole piece.

Hence the vast bulk of this work was done by d14truth. With me acting as creative editor, we cooperated to put together this final effort.

We hope you enjoy it.

Yes, yes. Very easy. In fact it is so easy that doing it well takes a lot of skill. In other words you don't lather it on, you slip it in with a word here, an adjective there. The 'translated' piece was--like the original--heavy handed and obvious.

In any event, I recommend finding something else to do with your time. If Grey Davis were found to have killed Chandra Levy with his bare hands, he would still be re-elected. The deceased and illegal-alien vote mean that Simon is toast--EVEN IF the media were to close up shop tomorrow.

Gov. Davis pumped donors, while watching California sink deeply into debt.

Exactly.
You guys did a great job with the side-by-side comparisons.

This looks like an altered quote:

"The appearance is terrible," Pitney said. "This is a heaven-sent opportunity: It gives Simon a chance to talk about an issue on which he can get some traction."
