Okay, now it's time to find out what you say.
We get hundreds of emails from viewers everyday here on the FactZone but this was
one I just couldn't ignore. Nicole Callister wrote "I was happy to see
FactZone cover the recent renovation of the Alamo, but it was actually built in
the 1700's not in 1836 like you said." Well, I had a team of our best back
checkers dig into this report. It turns out that Mrs. Callister's right.
Not surprising since she's a history teacher in Ventura, California, not the
most popular history teacher, it would seem.
Our reporters talked to a few of her students yesterday who described
Mrs. Callister as boring, super annoying, and on account of criticism, ugly.
We do, however, admire your persistence in tracking down our error, Mrs. Callister,
glad you were able to fit us into your active social calendar which our computer
experts found comprise mainly of looking at recipes online or working on jigsaw
puzzles alone in your kitchen while your husband, Peter Callister, says he's at the
office but is actually in a Red Roof Inn in Pierpont Bay, having an affair with
a woman he met on craigslist. Of course, we both know that your fixation
on the Alamo really stems from the fact that you once visited the attraction with
your mentally handicapped son, Arthur, who - it's clear now - will never grow up to
be an architect as you once naively hoped.
If you have a compliment or a criticism for us, as always, we encourage you
to contact us on our website.
