Yeah, they should demand a reference from Mildred directly to the letter/writing of Madison.
It's a start, though. Did they publish that in the Letters to the Editor section?
No, it was at the bottom of Page 2 in the front section, so nobody saw it.
The "Letters" editor responded that "there are sources that verify the quote, which were checked before publication." I asked her for the source, it was an online quote list that said it was INCORRECTLY attributed to Madison!
The "quote" is traced to David Barton, an evangelical "writer" [insert "Liar" here], who sources it to two secondary sources that do not authenticate it. Even Barton has now admitted it is false, and they ran it anyway.
It's the Tribune...we should be grateful they still believe the solar system is heliocentric.
Good on ya.
"... is in dispute.The Tribune regrets the errors."
Do they not understand the definition of "dispute" or "error"? How much does an editor cost?
