    If I lie like that at my job I get fired. IMO he should be also. And that's no political, or anything b.s., just the fact that this guy is supposed to report facts, check those facts before they get reported, and do it in an unbiased viewpoint.

    The author was painting a picture of the first turn after takeoff at a supercross race, he must be confused.

    No you don't come across that way.... The guy understandably rubs most of us the wrong way just hate to give individuals who spread falsehoods any credibility by possibly making any false statements about them...... I appreciate your service to our country as I do his I doubt he gets much traction in the state of Missouri especially in the Springfield area where a big chunk of the population and local economy enjoy the benefits of Bass Fishing.

    It was probably better to publish it and let him look foolish than to give him a platform to claim he was unfairly being censored for his views.....People read it, people write letters in response or support, more people buy the paper to see what happens next, a letter to the editor is like a "Rant" on the BBC builds pages and post counts and hopefully the "Ranter" feels better and all the "Rantees" get to take jabs or relate to the "Ranters Rant" and nothing changes.

    Wow another case of the media blowing things out of proportion and a lot of false info in the article but I guess as tax paying citizens bass fisherman have no rights this is one that one of the major tournament sactioning bodies needs to respond to right in bass pro's backyard.

    Yep, but I bet they've gotten more hits on this article than anything that rag has published in the last 100 years.
