heh!
where are the big slander attorneys?
To whom it may concern,
I just finished reading the Tonganoxie Mirror's story concerning Bill McGraw and I must say that I find myself quite disgusted. To air the vile personal attack against Mr. McGraw was an egregious abuse of the power that the founding fathers of this nation held in high enough regard to make it #1 on our Bill of Rights. It is a power which 'journalists' like Dave Helling are obviously unable to wield responsibly.
Should Mr. McGraw take legal action against your station, I would hope that you would do the honorable thing and settle with him, as well as lead numerous broadcasts (as well as commercials) exonerating him with a retraction and an apology. Full page print ads in the KC Star would also be in order, to insure that everyone knows that Mr. McGraw is an honest businessman and not the criminal you painted him out to be.
The smear need only be applied once, and can never be fully removed, but a thorough effort to remove the filth applied by Mr. Helling and his crew is would be the right and decent thing to do.

OF course, as soon as I post it (and not before), my grammatical errors jump out at me like ninjas assassins...JFK
