Letter to the Editor, (top Gainesville Sun—full disclosure at the end)

Non-story of the week

Thanks to investigative reporter Andrew “Fats’ Caplan. the Gainesville Sun on Friday, Nov. 4^th, 

manufactured its front page lead non-story under the banner headline, NAACP threatens to sue 

Stafford Jones’ PAC over mailers.

 

The lead corroborates the false notion that the NAACP, the national NAACP, state NAACP, OR the 

local NAACP has something  to do with the contents of that report.

 

Check out the chapter contact invitation. No phone.  No email address.  No street address.  Get the

 minutes for the last time the Sun’s puppet source Evelyn Foxx was elected to anything by the local

 NAACP.  She speaks only for a motley assembly of unidentified elderly black and white people

 standing around her: “Evelyn Foxx, president of the NAACP Alachua County branch, stands in from

 the county's administration building to push back against misleading mailers that tell voters the

 organization and other Black leaders support single-member districts.”

 

The local chapter has never sued anybody about anything under Foxx’s “leadership.”  There is no basis

 for suit, certainly not on behalf of the local or any NAACP.   The report only serves as an excuse for the

Sun to raise issues about an important matter which generally has been ignored.  That’s not news!

Crabbe, Nathan Jan 27, 2020, 5:50 PM (2 days ago)     to me Hello, I haven't received a guest column on your City Commission candidacy, so I'm just checking to make sure you received my previous emails and that you planned on submitting one. Please let me know.   Thanks,   Nathan Crabbe Opinion and engagement editor Gainesville Sun 2700 SW 13th St. Gainesville, FL 32608 352-374-5075  www.gainesville.com Gabriel Hillel <[log in to unmask]> Tue, Jan 28, 3:35 AM (22 hours ago)     to Doug, [log in to unmask], Nathan, bcc: me, bcc: Peter Dear Mr. Crabbe:   I am confused.  I thought you stated categorically that you would not publish anything I wrote, because you didn't want to deal with my potentially defamatory writings and didn't want to take the time necessary to edit them.  You certainly have proven time and again that you would keep to that policy .and have rejected numerous letters I have offered.   Are you saying now that I can have 600 words to write as I please?   If that is the case and you will not edit for what you consider unacceptable material when is the deadline?   Thanks, Gabe Kaimowitz, candidate for Gainesville City Commission at large Seat A (city) Seat 2 (county) Crabbe, Nathan

to me, Doug, [log in to unmask] We offer the opportunity to write columns to all commission candidates, and have the same standards for libel and personal attacks that we would for other guest columns. The deadline was yesterday, but if you submit something by the end of the week I will consider it for publication. And yes, 600 words is the limit.   Thanks, Nathan Crabbe
