Question About "Ownership"
In answer to the question about ownership of the paper, yes, the FSView is an independent paper, with cordial, informal relations with the University. The Florida Flambeau was a hate-filled screed whose vitrolic attacks on Greeks finally brought a boycott of advertisers that weakened them financially. The competing paper, the upstart FSView, actually purchased the Flambeau name.
The important point, well illustrated by responders here, is that we will never be successful trying to turn the hearts of those whose hatred for us flows from their twisted, radical ideologies. Their papers must be infiltrated, and then they must be replaced.
