Michael,

What a great idea to email KGW with positive feedback.  How 'bout it, everyone?

To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.

Hooray!  Congratulations!

KGW Management - thanks for employing a reporter that takes care with word choice.

And please let Ms. Bell know the bicycling appreciates her reporting on this very

unfortunate story.

In particular:

 - She described the incident as a "collision" not an "accident."

 - No mention was made of irrelevant, blame the victim elements, e.g. helmet use
