If you go to the Boston Globe link, you'll see the author is actually Walter V. Robinson....found GUILTY OF LIBEL in 1987 for an "article" he wrote about a Republican politician.

"the jury found that the defendants had published false, defamatory statements with knowledge of their falsity or while having serious doubts about their truth..."

http://www.catholicsandsurvivors.net/lakian.htm

Robinson was found guilty along with the paper he wrote for, The Boston Globe, and yet the Globe has kept him on all these years and elevated him to an editor.





From the Boston Globe site on this Bush hitpiece... "This article was reported by the Globe Spotlight Team -- reporters Stephen Kurkjian, Francie Latour, Sacha Pfeiffer, and Michael Rezendes, and editor Walter V. Robinson. It was written by Robinson."

The author of this article is actually Walter V. Robinson.... significant for his being found guilty of libel in 1987 in fabricating false information in an article smearing a Republican politician.


Would you be able to change the author to correctly show his name on the thread title?

See post 61 for more information...

The Left has nothing to fight with, and they still want to hurt Dubya. I fear that the next couple of months will see the journalistic equivalent of bomb belts detonating all over the MSM.
