Egg on Our Face
Red Planet Story Correction
Yes, we printed a story and picture that turned out to be untrue,
something that hurts us deeply.
The story titled “The Red Planet Makes an Appearance Larger than Life”
printed in the Aug. 31 issue, was not based on factual information. We have not
made it a practice
to publish stories without proper research.
The Valley Journal works tenaciously to provide our readers with
factual stories and information.
We apologize for the misinformation and mishap.
While on the subject, this misfortune exemplifies how some people and
or organizations in our society abuse the use of the internet and freedom of
speech, for their own benefit or amusement.
We have had several e-mails regarding this article,
we thank all of our readers for expressing their concerns and opinions about
the issue. We also thank all of you who continue to support the Journal. We
take our job of providing information to the community seriously, and have
taken and will continue to take steps to ensure that this never occurs again.
