I am writing you regarding your very inaccurate
article called
Rabid Watchdog and it's about Media Whores Online.
In the article I am mentioned by name as hosting/supporting
Media Whores Online. Here's part of your article.
As best can be determined, Media Whores Online
originated in Tulsa, Okla., in 1996,
...when BartCop took on right-wing agendas...he
received financial help from Marc Perkel
First - as I made it clear to Jennifer Liberto
who interviewed me, I do not know who Media
Whores Online is - and I certainly do not host
their web site, nor to I support them financially.
I do host Bartcop.com - but he is not Media Whores
Online.
What you have published here is a total fabrication
and you are using my name in the article
and what is published is not what I said. Besides
the false facts - I would like to add that this
article is an example as to why sites like Bartcop
and Media Whores Online exist. This article
goes beyond mere incompetence. Obviously Jennifer
has an agenda here to create a slant against
we few real journalists who are actually reporting
what really is happening here in America.
But - you have the right to print anything -
no matter how poor the quality is - but you don't have
the right to falsely claim that I am hosting
this - and that bartcop.com is Media Whores Online.
Therefore - PLEASE TAKE THIS ARTICLE DOWN IMMEDIATELY.
...it will cost you your reputation.
You got suckered by Jennifer Liberto.
Hope you didn't pay much for that article.
