I sure am glad I didn't respond to Don's message.

Why did you think it is acceptable to use Don's message as an opportunity to
heap criticism on others?

Does anyone have a clue why he reports the news as though he had just

his report with Associated Press?

It appears that on rare occasion he goes for a boat ride, but then he
very
quickly returns to the news reporting.

Is this the only place on the internet that he can freely "play"
journalists?

Welcome to rec boats.

Your post has precipitated a behavior I often refer to as "pig piling".
Party A makes a disparaging remark about Party B, (even starts a
dedicated thread for the purpose), and easily predicted Parties C, D,
E, etc jump in to
take a shot as well. Several of the worst offenders involved in this
type of behavior recently resolved to stop, and the tone of the group
improved as a result. Please reconsider any future urges to create a
thread specifically designed to heap criticism on another person. If
cutting and pasting newspaper articles is not acceptable in the NG, why
is starting a thread to trash another person a much better or
appropriate idea?
