Sorry to send this here. It seems like the best place.

You recent video suggesting I am a pedophile — which is based on manipulated information obtained from Tim Richards (AKA Casey) who is one of several dozen pedophiles I got locked up with my work — presents a completely false depiction of what occurred through the selective use of details, and omissions of others, to create a false reality. That is what happens when your ultimate source is a pedophile who got a 15 year sentence because of my work and who has been spinning these lies for a decade. Getting him locked up saved 2 children.

Tim has been spinning this story for a decade. Only a few pedophile supporters and one unbalanced individual have been foolish enough to publicize it, because everyone else did actual reporting.

You are obligated under the libel law to, at the very least, obtain and read documents as they are pointed out to you, whether the person is a public figure or not. (And a suggestion — if youre going to call someone a pedophile, you should really try to reach them for comment.)

To get the real story of what happened — and not the one spun by Richards and his supporters, some of whom also have already been prosecuted — read my testimony as a prosecution witness in the Michigan case of People v. Gourlay, 2009 WL 529216. That case is about another pedophile named Ken Gourlay who I got locked up through my work, which in turn saved three children.

You might also read the Congressional hearings set off by my reporting [see below.]

There is a second set of Congressional hearings in September 2006 where I also testified, but you’ll have to dig those up yourself. I dont have a copy.

You are now on notice: There is sworn testimony that goes into everything you spoke about on your video and shows its allegations to be false. You made no attempt to reach me or to learn anything about the case. The fact that I testified is a matter of public record. There is also sworn testimony before Congress that goes into the information contained in your video.

Should you choose to keep your video up and conduct no research to determine its falsity, you are acting with actual malice. Public figures cannot be accused of being pedophiles or child molesters (particularly ones who got dozens of them locked up and saved many many kids) in a slapdash way in which basic journalistic standards are ignored, all of your information comes from a pedophile I got locked up, and sworn testimony in the case is ignored. There are a lot of public documents about this case and you ignored them all in favor of a criminal’s storyline.

Do the reporting you should have done in the first place, or take the video down. Your choice. Remember Gawker.

So apparently Eichenwald imagines he's Hulk Hogan. What an odd comparison to make.To be clear, Gawker was a media news and gossip website that was forced to shut down because Hulk Hogan filed a lawsuit against them. Gawker posted video of Hogan having sex with married woman and refused to take it down originally; Thus, Hogan had no choice but to sue them. And although Hogan won, it came at a cost to his legacy as a performer and sports entertainer.Eichenwald on the other hand, lured a gay camboi named Justin Berry back into the child pornography business so he can write a story about how he saving a young boy from pedophiles, He never told his then bosses at the New York Times until after the fact, that he gave Berry $2000 to restart his website and watched him repeatedly masturbating and having sex with other underage boys.And not just once or twice. Twenty two times, in fact.He also never revealed until Debbie Nathan wrote about it, how he had administrator access and was offering Berry proposals to make him even more money.If there's a website or blog for that matter being threatened with closure it's by their own choice.Kurt Eichenwald is no savior or hero. His cowardice, hypocrisy and double standards is beginning to seep in the surface on the contents of a cracked cesspool, and it's only a matter of time, Kurt... just a matter of time.Update: Rebel Media took down their Eichenwald/Child porn story a few hours after I published.
