Its good to know Mr. Marono's background (and I refrain from obvious jokes based on his name -- because that would be insensitive and rude :) ). And knowing his prior efforts of slanting and censorship motivates the reader to be extra careful in reading his current material. Some might jump to the conclusion that his past makes his present statements necessarily false (and for the record Judy did not say this, or imply that she had made such a jump). To say ones past makes their present statements necessarily false is a logical fallacy. Current statements must be refuted or accepted on their own merits. However, a poor track record for a person's past statements may raise red flags and motivate us to look more deeply. ------------------------ Yahoo!
