Nate;
Recently upgraded to the GoPro Hero HD, which comes with a rechargeable Li-ion battery that is MUCH better than AAAs in the SD GoPro. It lasts for MUCH longer!

Thanks for the comments. Glenn, there was also a business angle and that part of the story was good. It mentioned Polaris’ need for improvement in difficult financial times,the military contract (need for at least 4,000 vehicles over three years) and a quote from the defense manager, interviewed a Polaris dealer for his feedback (good!), a DNR official and even a stock analyst (another positive) so the writer definitely had multiple sources and created a nice business story.

For the most part it was a good business story, but I feel it lost its focus when the story introduced the “environmental advocacy” aspects and used too many negative terms (negative to the environment) to describe current gasoline-powered machines.

The link only takes you to the hold page for the exclusive story topics, but not the story (it exclusive to the Sunday print).

JRod, nice analysis of this “journalism” report. I did not read the Star Tribune article (the link took me somewhere else) but am quite familiar with the paper’s style. I certainly hope the reporter acknowledged Polaris’s efforts to expand their market, increase their business, and potentially provide jobs for Minnesotans. The “green” impact should be clear, and surely has great potential for expansion.

Keep your eye on that newspaper, my friend, and let them know you’re watching. Write a letter.

Write him back J-Rod.

Use his self-absorbed, crusader quote assuming immediate eco-destruction “quiet machines might also allow riders to go places they shouldn’t be” as a model for a response. Send him this in your response…
