- Well of course it seems that way to you. After all, she took your
- remarks, Bob Acosta's remarks, and Oral Miller's remarks at face value.
- On the other hand she declined to interview people like Homer Page
- because his opinions would be predictable. She also left out remarks
- made by people like Deane Blazie, Nell Carney, and Frank Kurt Cylke
- because they weren't negative or critical. In other words, she
- systematically omits information from the very people who would be most
- likely to know the truth about the charges to which she alludes. I
- suppose if she did a story about the space program she'd lead off by
- interviewing the President of the Flat Earth Society. And he, like you,
- would immediately hail her as a reputable journalist willing to take the
- whole corrupt round-earth conspiracy to task.
