[quote user="CMStPnP"] <blockquote> <div><img src="/TRCCS/Themes/trc/images/icon-quote.gif" /> Bucyrus:</div> <div></div>   <blockquote> <div> But my point was responding to the previous poster who wonderd why the magazine has a political ideology while prohibiting politics on the forum. </div> </blockquote> <div style="clear:both;"></div>   </blockquote>   Because in the published Magazine the text is either fact checked via an Editorial process OR placed in a Editorial Opinion Column and the publication places it's reputation on the line.       This does not happen with user submitted content on a public internet forum in a lot of cases.       Users are responsible for their posted content here.      However, user submitted content thats not Moderated can reflect almost just as badly as content in the publication thats not fact checked. Not sure if thats clear or not BUT thats my personal opinion. <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote] The entire forum has to be considered to be opinion by its nature.  The issue here is the question of why Kalmbach does not allow political opinions in the forum while they do allow them in the magazine, both within the editorial pieces, and in the articles themselves.   <o:p></o:p> The issue of fact checking seems to be somewhat beside the point because political opinions can and are conveyed within material that is fact checked and gives true and accurate facts.  Omitting certain facts while stating other facts can just as easily convey opinions.   <o:p></o:p> Certainly, the magazine’s advocacy of HSR as a nationalized transportation system, while labeling those who oppose it as “train haters” is political.
