Nice reporting Dom!
"Seattle's Only Newspaper" indeed.
If only The Stranger would occasionally show some humility in reaction to things like this. But that would be hard. What's easy is just to continue to hammer every other publication in town at every opportunity, no matter how big or small their transgression may be.
I look forward to the next Stupid Whatever Whatever Hack blah blah...
But ... the bigger point still stands.
That's why real newspapers have these things called "datelines". So you can tell where the writer was when he said something.
(They also, still, sometimes, have enough money to actually send their writers where the news is. Maybe you're just not used to that....)
Thanks Dominic. Is there something special that you're taking or doing that allows you to be a humble journalist and admit your mistakes? You seem to be doing something that 98% of other journalists in America aren't doing.
Of course, I could be mistaken in assuming you're a journalist. ;-p

One must ask then, does the Stranger's Style guide allow for a follow up apology to Geoff Baker?
I mean, you basically accused him of being homophobic, but instead tripped all over your lack of facts, logic or reason.
