That is your opinion.  You are mistaken.

I don't have any direct information as to how it was arranged.  I can surmise, as can you.  How do you know Fetzer was not involved?

Pleez.  What planet are Canadians on if they can't grab a clue that someone is trying to present themselves as the Holy Grail of the JFK assassination?  Why didn't they google at least?  If you send out a press packet to a TV station or newspaper, don't you expect it to be vetted first? 

It is my understanding that Judyth's book was not published as non-fiction, but under some other category.  If the publisher was aware of this, how can they be let off the hook for trying to troll Judyth as a fait accompli?

If not, they sure missed the bigger story, didn't they?

And that is when they could have honed in and asked the tough questions, isn't it?

What 'farce' that I created?  By keeping an open mind?  If you demonize Judyth, she plays victim and gains new converts.  Even you realize that, I am sure. 

McAdams has a presence on the net with his website, his book is out, he has been campaigning against Judyth obsessively on aaj for over a decade. It would seem logical that if the press were to want to get an opposing viewpoint to Judyth, he would be among the first they would look to.  But only one did.

You managed to get an article into Judyth's hometown paper.  That was so unbalanced in the other direction that I complained.  I am surprised that this was not the reception Judyth had to deal with in Canada.  I would like to understand why.  And perhaps everyone can learn from this situation?  Even someone as sophisticated as you? :-0
