Margaret Menge: more errors in her "community newspaper"—she misquotes John Szerdi

Received a text this morning pointing out more errors in Ms. Menges newspaper. These errors appear on page 7 in the "Full Text of Speech by Outgoing Commissioner John Szerdi". I took a video of John Szerdi's speech and you can watch that here.

 Mr. Szerdi's comments begin at the 1:50 mark on the video and Ms. Menge's errors can be verified starting at the 2:50 mark on the video:
Ms. Menge published this:
And I challenge those of you who don't know me to challenge any evidence to the contrary.
Mr. Szerdi said:
And I challenge those of you who don't know me to produce any real evidence to the contrary.
Ms. Menge published this:
I do take solace in the fact that there's no true satisfaction in learning by deceit.
Mr. Szerdi said:
I do take solace in the fact that there's no true satisfaction in winning by deceit.
Ms. Menge is a self-described 'journalist' and 'editor' with experience in the field of journalism, or so she claims. That experience has culminated in a newspaper that, after 10 issues, is still FREE and has almost no advertising. 

She's used her FREE newspaper to go after people like Nadine Burns, Mayor Pam Triolo, Marshall Pass, Gerald Coscia, John Szerdi, and if the reports are accurate, Commissioner Andy Amoroso is her target this week (which makes sense since PrideFest begins this Saturday). It's a truly sad commentary on what is offered up to the community of Lake Worth by Ms. Menge, a 'journalist' who has to corrected by a blogger and other citizens who have no professional journalism background at all. 

No doubt there are other, and I would guess many more errors in Ms. Menge's "Full Text of Speech by Outgoing Commissioner John Szerdi". I'll have more of them tomorrow. Stay tuned.
