Newsday- Yellow Journalism

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Teachers Over the Top and Out of Touch":

you mentioned that some school district out there get less sick days then Plainview and are paying more health care then Plainview. If this is true then don't you think Newsday should have published that. you can't trusr Newsday togive any strait talk about this subject. When you made your point about give backs you forgot to mention that many times over the past negotiation cycles the PCT has negotiated give backs. But the key word is negotiate, unless the board is willing to negotiate then there can be no give backs. Other districts had the forsight to negotiate, why not Plainview? As for those feasts in the K center, a good portion of the money that was used in the past to pay for thise feasts came out of the teachers pocket. Does it seem fair to you that superindendent of schools should mandate those expenditures in a time when teachers are with out a contract just to satisfy past traditions?
I think that the article is a piece of yellow journalism and as a member of this community I am urging other members of the community to boycott Newsday until they either fire the education editor or force him to print the whole truth.
