Back in the day when "journalism" was actually taught and respected....(I quit because I did not want to compete with my fiancee in the same field. Little did I know the field would disappear to be replaced with 'media reporters')

What you have done is the sort investigation real journalists DO. Assemble the facts, dig into the truth, expose the lies. I wish my words could express the warmth in my heart that your work has engendered. This is what the free press was supposed to do. I wish it still did.
