Local Lewisville paper editor needs information.

[eric]

For those of you who are better with words than I am, please feel free to PM me some of the stronger points for the rebuttal against the FDA's press release last week and the media's distortion of facts.

I have just spoken with the Editor of the local Lewisville, TX newspaper (Dan Eakin) who told me to send him this information via email and that he would run the story by his editor in chief.

Thanks in advance.
Eric

The Rest of the Story: Tobacco News Analysis and Commentary

For the past several days, all of Dr. Siegel's blog entries have been devoted to this topic. So be sure to tell him to read on down through at least the past 5 entries, all very much on point!

I've also just contacted the Dallas Morning News in regards to the situation. The woman I spoke to seemed very, very interested in the story. This is definitely a good thing.

And this article on Lacey's blog references Dr. Nitzkin and Dr. Rodu's responses as well, along with links to contact them and Dr. Siegel:

I received a response from the Lewisville Leader in regards to the story:

Eric:
I’m sorry, but I am not going to get involved in this.
If you would like, you may write a letter to the editor, expressing you views on this.
Just e-mail it to me.
Dan Eakin, Staff Writer
Lewisville Leader

Well, there you go. Even local media outlets don't want to consider our side of the story.

COWARDS, not journalists.

"Eric:

What a punk.

Cowards, my sentiment exactly. This is not Journalism. A journalist wants to hear the story, then will look for arguments, then verify all, and present it in full spectrum light. The Rest of The Story doesn't happen by accident.

I sent a letter to his email.

Eric...take it to the jerk's editor.

His editor will probably say the same thing. I'll write him a letter when I get some time.

In the meantime, I got some orders to prepare.
