I haven't even read it yet before posting the link here. Going back to read it now
Hmmmmm, this news report was written BEFORE the protest about the UPCOMING protest. AND, next to the article there is a link called "Fact Sheet' and it brings you right to the IDSA page!!!
time to get writing.

OK got it. But for anyone reading this who has not done it, please call ABC news on 212.456.3100 and ask them to also insert the ILADS guidelines as they have the IDSA on there as 'fact sheet'.

I'm wondering if WPLJ is going to say or has said anything on the radio about the protest as I know they've been involved in some stuff recently.
Anybody know?

At least they keep typing ISDA instead of IDSA .

Good joke, Aniek -- I'll remember that -- the ISDA -- how about the Invective Society Diseasing America/the Ineffective Society Diseasing America/the Infected Society Diseasing America -- (Deceasing America? Decreasing America?)
spose any of that could get turned back into IDSA initials as long as the D is for Disease

Hi -- I emailed the abc news folks asking them why they listed only the IDSA guidelines and not the ILADS guidelines, and asked them to tespond. Cc'ed myself for a copy. Encourage others to respond too.

I also responded to ABC News telling them that their message had reached as far as Florida, but that they needed to report again to level the playing field, as the ILADS guidelines should have been made available to readers.
I asked that they respond to me to explain how they choose to explain the "other" side of the story and made suggestions. We'll see what happens..........
Thanks to all who attended and to those who have reported here.

Emailed with a link to ILADS guidelines and comments about impartial journalism, etc, blah blah.
