Just read the article and posted a comment. Will be reaching out to the author AND the editor of that publication. Pure sensationalism.

The media has truly become an enemy of the people. Hard to sift through honest and correct reporting these days.
My profession has absolutely nothing to do with me catching this virus. Hell, I was off from the 8th on.... Vacation!

I know some of you will say 'that's why you shouldn't post".. I say BULL****. We HAVE to push back. My posting was to give you guys a heads up.
Every day (well, maybe not so much yesterday!) I'm getting better. Slowly, but surely.

Just a heads up to anybody who thinks they are getting true, accurate and vetted news from the “media”. It’s all dropped to the level of the National Enquirer with a touch of Jerry Springer mixed in for flair. And be careful what you post here in regards to company issues, just sayin’.

Motch, glad you are writing them. It’s just plain old shoddy and lazy journalism. Good luck and glad to hear you’re on the mend.

I always go to The Idaho Reporter for my news....


Idaho Reporter provides the latest Idaho, national and international news from around the globe.We ensure no matter where you are you can keep up to date with the latest news, with a different point of view.

We are a team of expacts(sic) working from the comfort of our homes (and we did so long before coronavirus lockdowns) headquartered in Paris, Belgrade and Tahiti.

An online rag of dubious origin writes a story with questionable facts -> all media is untrustworthy. Right.

You don’t go to them for your news, but they come here for theirs, which of course was the point. Just know you are being watched when you post company business here.

Ridiculous.

I could claim to be a former Navy Admiral Delta Captain on the 747 with 8 moon landings on here and it seems they would just print whatever I write without ever verifying any actual facts.

On the other hand... that could lead to an entertaining disinformation campaign

I think I prepared the moon base for you back in 1956. TWA flew that trip biweekly. Glad you finally got around to using it!
