All of the "hot button" issues are simply taken from the lower echelon media coverage to point out how much they have been hidden, which is the primary point, not the actual content. However, if you have issues with the actual content, perhaps a letter to this Newsletter, as well as to the original media source would engender a conversation. Again, I would have to run this by our CEO.
I just pulled the part 1A of the Newsletter out of my spam filter, and was somewhat appalled by the inaccuracies of the news. Surely you could have looked up the Snopes page on the black looting/white finding issue and see that only one was from AP. If you look at it now, you'll see that the circumstances were different. <http://www.snopes.com/katrina/photos/looters.asp>. Or attributing Esquivalience to the New Oxford English Dictionary, when in fact it's in the New Oxford American Dictionary <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esquivalience>. I don't think it helps Project Gutenberg's reputation to be forwarding poorly checked "hidden" news.
