NOT SO TRUSTED NEWS – A few days ago the Salt Lake Tribune ran an article that wildly misquoted me regarding the Proposition 3 debate. I called Mr. Wood and they issued the following correction: “An earlier version of this report mischaracterized Sen. Lincoln Fillmore’s arguments in support of SB96.” Yesterday, yet again, the Tribune, under George Pyle, ran what they know is absolutely false information. Most of the general public is very skeptical of news reports and this is exactly why. My words are being knowingly misrepresented and I will not let this out and out lie stand. The words the Tribune attribute to me were very clearly what the advocates of Prop 3 are saying, not what I am saying or what I believe. The clip of my speech from the Senate floor is below. Anyone, even a Tribune reporter with minimal knowledge of computers and the Utah.gov website, can access the actual speeches online with just a couple of clicks. The Tribune reporting is intentionally misleading and shows the true bias of this paper and its reporters. “Fake news” is becoming a more popular phrase than ever and we can certainly see why in this example.
