Ubu Roi,
After my taking time to respond to people here, unlike most journalists who ignore people who raise questions about their work, your remarks are more cynical than the cynical journalist of myth.
So, to be clear, I stand by what I wrote, it was accurate, you can verify its accuracy yourself and, yes, context matters.
I am proud of my work, all of which I have signed for more than 40 years and which has been recognized repeatedly with the highest honors in my field, has saved lives, brought criminals to justice, freed an innocent man from life in prison after I hunted down the real killer, exposed government abuses at every level, exposed misconduct by some of the richest and most powerful people and institutions in the world, caused two TV stations to be forced out of business because of news blackouts and manipulations, and….. I could go on here for enough to fill a book.
People make bizarre and jaundiced interpretations every day. I have received letters on the same story accusing me of diametrically opposite, and mutually exclusive, things.
I do not hold people to standards I do not myself meet, I take great care in my work, I forthrightly correct actual errors (even if no complains) and I do not lurk behind a screen name.
Now, farewell, I have important work to do…
