You know, I'm finding you to be a boor, and a pretender. To drop the name of the editor of a publication as if you are in his mind, when I have known and worked closely with him for over thirty years says a lot more about you than anything else you have written.

That obscure, tinfoil publication, got more than 1,200 press clippings over just that one story in December, 1993, and those were just the ones that our own clipping service caught.

It also led to a very public (perhaps you missed it) federal investigation against a publication presumably protected by the first amendment.

If you haven't gotten the point yet, you are more obtuse than even I have suspected.

My point was, there is no way The American Spectator can be portrayed as 'the press.' Apologies if that reality upsets you.

But things did not work out as planned. In the early months of 1995 circulation began falling. From its high of 309,000, in February of 1995, it had fallen to around 200,000 by the time the new design was unveiled. And the hoped-for new advertising revenues did not materialize.
