Letter: ​DTH should not publish PR pieces

TO THE EDITOR:

I’d like to personally ask The Daily Tar Heel to stop publishing press releases for the University administration and passing them off as journalism. 

Also, stop talking to Brad Ives as a primary source for every story about University events. He’s a slimy, privatizing bastard, OK? This should be abundantly clear by now.http://fa.unc.edu/news/brad-ives-becomes-associate-vice-chancellor-for-campus-enterprises/

Brad Ives: “The whole concept of sustainability is living in a way that allows future generations to live at the same standard that we do.”http://www.dailytarheel.com/article/2016/09/new-goal-uses-three-initiatives-to-help-the-environment

HAHAHAHA, HAHA, Brad Ives!!! 

You think future generations are going to be able to live the way we do? 

Driving cars and eating out-of-season fruit flown in from New Zealand and throwing away hundreds of pounds of trash per year like we do? 

Our way of living is OBVIOUSLY, doubly-over-proven to be unsustainable. Doesn’t Carol “the scientist” Folt know this?
