18. As much as I respect you and your work, the guy has a point.
You're right and he's right, but he's more right.

Your country is being destoyed before your eyes. You obviously know the evil and lies go far, far deeper than you acknowledge in your article, but you avoid saying it -- you say because you're audience can't handle it, but more likely because you are afraid the neocon propaganda host will cry "Will Pitt-conspiracy wacko". JimSagle's comment above about your correspondent's being "possibly loony" is an indication of what awaits serious journalists who long to expose the truth.

This is what holds thousands of honest, knowledgeable journalists in check -- fear. And this is why most of America will never have access to the incredible research done by some of the people your critic mentioned.

I'm not saying you're wrong. You do great work and you understand your audience. But the guy's got a point.
