A friend of Natalies had her send me this link. News 10 who COINCIDENTALLY broadcast many of the Kings games has a website solely devoted to flacking the new arena. Check out their poll results!
Poll Results AS OF 5/15/06
Do you support the construction of a new arena in Sacramento?
YES
92%
NO
8%
Should public money be spent to build such an arena?
YES
80%
NO
20%
Should the Sacramento Kings pay for such an arena?
YES
93%
NO
7%
Where should such an arena be built?
DOWNTOWN
55%
NATOMAS
37%
ELSEWHERE
8%
Of course they didn't report that the poll-ees consisted entirely of the Maloof family, the city council, the sports staff at the Sac Bee, and Slamson, with Slamson providing the only "no" votes for anything. Slamson is really hoping the Kings move to Hawaii so he can score some Maui Wowee.

Who runs this website? There's not much info and there is a nice typo at the top this page.
http://www.futureofthearena.com/emails.html
I am going to email News 10 and tell them about the typo.

I think they included the typos from reader comments. They will print all comments as long as they are pro-arena. They're non-discriminatory that way.
I just want to write them because I believe that it isn't news 10's web site because the journalism is way too shabby. And I was right! Here's the REAL News 10 poll.

Quite a difference, huh?

I changed my email to News 10 from complaining to making them aware of the site. Dale Schornack would never!

PS: I own this thread.
That takes some fucking NERVE. The arenapods are going all out. I'm reading a book about Dick Cheney and this comes off like his kind of tactics. And who can blame them? If they can get a hundred million or so dollars, that's a hundred million THEY won't have to shell out.
As I said, it takes nerve. Sort of me doing a seque into the question: Does anyone know where I can get a job?

The Kings suck donkey balls and they don't deserve a new arena.

Seriously, though, what the hell is going on with the false reporting of the arena results? I'm emailing that website right now.
You can email the website at:
comments@futureofthearena.com
(I did and mine has a stupid typo that looks like I spelled could wrong, oh well)
then, cc channel 10 and ask them what the fuck is up with this stupid website that is falsely reporting poll results, at
comments@news10.net
and cc some of the news staff while you're at it
Here's to a bigger and better rome. Orgy at my place this friday.
I haven't heard back from my email on friday. I am considering emailing the SN&R if my stupid bosses would stop piling stupid work on me.
