So I get home from the Riverside County Board of Supervisors meeting to see a pile of stories, all filled with quotes and video clips promoting those who favored the BSL, and very little from myself or others who were in attendance to oppose the proposed BSL. Then I see my name used in this FOX 11 story and they actually call me an “area breeder.” I never even spoke to Gigi Graciette or Jeffrey Thomas DeSocio, the individuals who wrote and edited this story. I am not a breeder, never have I ever been and never at any point did I say that I was. Just a funny example of how media members print inaccurate things when they should be easily and properly referenced. They watched my entire public comment, they video taped it. They also took portions of my quotes from my public comment and merged them, as I actually spent many sentences explaining how this law was (and is) being publicly represented in the same way that a breed ban would be. It’s my opinion that that’s what the majority of the Supervisors would’ve wanted, but they are currently being blocked by state law from being able to introduce such legislation. This type of breed-specific sterilization legislation is always the fallback.
Within the hour the Murrieta Patch and Temecula Patch have now reprinted it, verbatim. I wonder how many websites by morning are going to be erroneously stating that I’m a breeder?
Force them to issue a public retraction/correction for both your “occupation” and your statements.
