Japan Today Pulls Another
Posted on 07/12/2003 8:45:38 PM PDT by William McKinley
Too funny.
A few days ago, Japan Today picked up a story that had been published on Capitol Hill Blue. It turned out that the story was false, and that Japan Today did not even know about Capitol Hill Blue. (Full story here).
They had gotten the story from a place called TruthOut.org, which is run by managing editor William (Red) Rivers Pitt, co-author of an anti-American screed along with Scott "Have It Your Way" Ritter. Pitt claimed Japan Today took it without permission. Japan Today provided an email that said different.
Japan Today's editor also said they would think twice before ever using TruthOut again.
Earlier today, I posted on my blog an entry saying how the editor had lied, becuase lo-and-behold, Pitt had written a new screed The insiders are coming out, which had been picked up and published by Japan Today, as you can see by a Google search.
I emailed the editor a pretty snied letter, and posted that he lied when he said he would not use TruthOut.
Two hours later- look what you get when you try to load Pitt's screed on Japan Today.
Thanks Mr. Betros, once again.

Thanks. I bookmarked your blog yesterday. I'm not real familiar with blogs, but yours looks like a good place to learn from.
To: Registered
Actually, yesterday I did offer them a piece- on the CHB fiasco. He declined, saying they wanted to let it die quietly.
Imagine my surprise when I saw Pitt's crappola up.
Hopefully, he will have a nice surprise when he realizes it is gone.

Has anyone ever seen both Terrance J. Wilkinson and William Rivers Pitt in the same place at the same time?
Food for thought. ;-)
