I trust (and hope) that you'll be submitting a rebuttal and/or request for clarification by the Edm Sun (and their lousy Fact Checkers).

This is what i expect from the sun.... If it sells papers (no matter the truth) they will print it...

I was just using this forum to vent... thanks guys

As far as a response, as a team, we decided to let our sponsors speak for us... I only hope the sun has the "dignity" to print their letters... I will not be surprised if they do not print the pro blue line letters.

Default Thank You Rebecca Stevenson!

I was a little taken aback by your "spending priorities" comment with regards to the EPS and their new Dodge Challenger (Letters, Feb. 27). I would suggest that both you and Ed Clapp reread the article in your newspaper, "Law lays down rubber," Feb. 26, as it clearly states that there were no tax dollars used in this project - never has and never will be.

What!? The Sun has Fact Checkers? I don't believe you. If their spelling a grammar are worse than these forums, How can we expect them to get facts straight?

Let me get serious for a minute now. The Sun is written for an audience with a grade 3 reading level. (Just for fairness, The Journal is only written for an audience with a grade 8 level...) How many 8-year olds think twice about what they're told? Are you still surprised by the comments?

The notion of "responsible reporting" has never been within the mission of the Edmonton Sun. I love how they are the first newspaper to hold police to the highest of standards yet they can't even do their own jobs properly.

i think you should call them and get them to print a retraction

blue line racing and it's sponsors could technically sue the sun
