That's all it took. The Associated Press (AP) to deliver the news about the RDPN protest at Gallaudet University. Once the AP delivers, other smaller internet and television news organizations picks it up. Washington Post is beginning to report a better (some say "accurate") version of the protests. CNN picked up the AP story. So did USAToday.
There is your answer FSSA. Issue news releases. You may have to invest a few hundred dollars at a time for each news release. But if you really want to get the story out to help counter the "She doesn't say 'Hi'." Although, E. Lynn Jacobowitz is exaggerating when the professor said that "99.9%" of the people at Gallaudet support the protest. But outside readers might actually believe it thinking the total supporters would be like 3 people (.1 percent or .001) who are not anti-JKF from a student, faculty and staff population of about 3000. Pretty far fetched when last week when an informal poll was conducted on campus that showed a 2/3 suppport. Even the FSSA ongoing poll reports the same where 63% of the votes think the protest is justified. Looks like somebody lied just to get the story out? You would think somebody with a PhD and years of teaching would know the math difference of .01% (100% - 99.9% = .1% or .001) to the total campus population which gives a whopping total of 3 dissenters (ie pro-JKF)?
