Consider The Source ...

[ColonelJack]

I know we should never, but never, take anything from News of the Force seriously.  But I found this, and wanted to share it ...

"Sources have told News of the Force this morning that Civil Air Patrol national commander Maj. Gen. Tony Pineda will resign from the office before the next meeting of the organization's Board of Governors (BoG).
    "How much do you want to bet that the CAP is going to say Pineda resigned 'to spend more time with his family?' A lot of people get into higher CAP offices and then re-discover family values," one of the sources said.
    According to a poll, nearly 95 percent of CAP members who were surveyed want Pineda out."

While I seriously doubt this will happen, what do you think?

Hmm...not sure.  The poll thing stands out to me, though.  Isn't that the CAPBlog poll?  That's less than a scientific poll.  Heck, some wing king looking to be national commander is probably on there voting all the time...

General Courter sent out the minutes from the National Board Conference Call last week.  Included in the minutes was a comment from our National Commander stating that he has no intention of resigning, citing the same "news flash" from NOTF.

It would seem that the "unnamed source" in NHQ isn't so reliable.  Is anyone really surprised?

Anything exciting in these minutes?

What!!!  If this is true and he really resigns does that mean we have to start believing NOTF???

Of course they will deny that he would be resigning. Especially if it were true.
And the fact that it was in News of the Force is an even bigger reason to deny it.
Since we all know how buddy buddy Tony and Skip are!

[BillB]

I think if you'all (I'm in the south) were officers and gentlemen, you should tell MGen Pineda that he's planning on resigning. I don't think he knows

[PHall]

Hey, I wasn't saying that it was true or not true.
I was just making the observation that this report would be denied as a matter of fact.

[Pumbaa]

So....

If TP does in fact NOT resign after the next meeting ya think NoTF will print a retraction?


I mean any 'reputable' news service would do that... right???

Well "reputable" news services give credit to the writers of their articles.  The also do "fact checking" before they print articles.

Since NoTF does neither of the things, I would not hold by breath on that retraction.
