In those rare moments when I sit down, I like to read through the Sagebrush, a newspaper I spent 18 months at, and see what they're up to. Seeing it riddled with inaccuracies, fallacies and plain old typos feels ... wrong. I merely hoped that my criticism would open the editor's eyes to the glaring inadequacy of his current copy desk. But hey - if you want to read an inferior product and have your brain cells die every single time you try to make sense of a dumb typo - be my guest. Just don't go blaming those of us who want to improve this world, even if they do so through criticism. :))

NV was always a contested state. "student’s importance" - who is that student and why is he or she so important? Or could it be that you meant the plural form of the word and don't know how to use an apostrophe? Nah, can't be... "It was an anomaly" - why? Edwards and Kerry visited UNR in 2004. Pretty sure so did Gore in 2000. "and a unique opportunity" - That was Obama's third visit to Reno. The first one was in may 2007 in Wingfield park - just 2 miles south of campus. "at five weeks out" - today is Tuesday, October 7. Election is on November 4 - in 28 days. That's four weeks. Since when is a general a political figure? I thought military produced soldiers, not politicians. "don’t force us to miss class" - how many people actually missed their class? Some may have been late, but unless their class was in Stead and they were walking, they still made it. What myth? NV was always a contested state.
