Re: Sticklers & Shocks

摘要

Ever since we ran a story that mentioned shock jocks Opie and Anthony in a less-than-flattering way, we've been getting indignant letters calling us mean names. We can take it. But when you also claim we got parts of that article wrong, well-them's fightin' words. We have a simple policy: We don't make a habit of running fake stuff. So, that piece on a new technology for rating the popularity of radio programming? Yeah, we checked it out before we published it. The part where we say the gadget was rolled out in two cities? True, no matter what certain letter-writers say. Where we said the more accurate ratings generated by said new technology might keep Opie and Anthony on the air? Also true! (Do you detect a pattern?) And that part where those shock jocks are referred to as "twits" and "doofuses"? Well, we do allow our writers their opinions.
