Yes you do. You know full well what you're doing. You just won't ever admit to it.
Trying to pass off a press release by Aspen's CEO as being written by either the author of the article or DHS is intentionally misleading and intellectually dishonest.
lol, The article was about MBA and DHS and Aspen and the families it affected. They were all part of the article. The DHS had a press release and so did Aspen. The Journalist had her say as did some of the parents. The author pulled it all together.
They are all part of the article
package, as it was published on that particular occasion, and by KTVZ.com. Portions of that package, save the core article by Barney Lerten, may also be officially published elsewhere.
The statement by Phil Herschman, President of Aspen Education Group, on behalf of Mount Bachelor Academy, and published as part of that package, represents certain
vested interests and a particular POV, which no one (save you, perhaps) would ever possibly attempt to pass off as an objective one.
Similar can be said for the statement by Erinn Kelley-Siel, Director of Children, Adults and Families at Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS), also published as part of that package, although in this case the vested interests lie not with the continued existence of Mount Bachelor Academy or its demise, but with
the safety and welfare of its students which, by law and by the very type of governmental organization it is, DHS is beholden to prioritize.
And finally, yes, reporter Barney Lerten tries to pull it all together in the core article, presumably as objectively as possible, as that is part of what one does or is expected to do as a reporter.
These three parts, while all part of the same article
package, are authored by three very different individuals or organizations with very different aims, vested interests and standards of objectivity. To try to pass any of these sections off as having been authored by another IS
misrepresentation and fraudulent attribution.Tell me, Whooter, when you see that Aspen press release on other websites, does it carry the byline of Barney Lerten?
Any part of the article can be quoted and used as reference, plus I provided a link so there was no attempt to be misleading.
Yes, of course any part of the article can be quoted and used as reference, but your deceptive means of quoting and presenting what you quoted WERE
not only misleading but flat out dishonest. Your refusal to even acknowledge this, after several pages of this conversation, indicates to me that your deception may even have been deliberate.
