When I ran for the school board years ago, the Strib "manufactured" a totally inaccurate platform for me which they then printed in the paper. When I immediately called them on it, even faxing a letter to the editor because they did not retract the misinformation, they still ignored me. Had my name been, for example, Judy Farmer, I am quite sure a retraction would have happened the next day. Maybe I should have went in and screamed instead of trying to behave in a dignified manner.
