The Phoenix New Times has responded with another article deriding this blog’s use of anonymous writers – absurd considering anonymous political speech is constitutionally protected. http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/valleyfever/2008/11/sonoran_alliance_political_blo.php

But what is really irritating is their false reference claiming that Andrew Thomas modified his own wikipedia entry, a libelous article they ran a few months ago and actually got inserted in Thomas’s wikipedia entry. I like to point out errors in the Phoenix New Times articles, and left this comment:

Well, as has been pointed out in numerous comments after Phoenix New Times articles, Andrew Thomas DID NOT modify his own wikipedia entry (not that there is anything wrong with it), some zealous supporter did. So that’s actually an embarrassingly false article your publication ran. You really should retract it, because as such it’s slander. Read the comments after this article about it and reconsider continuing to trump that. It makes you look stupid. http://mikeyounglaw.com/wp/2008/07/18/maricopa-county-attorney-andrew-peyton-thomas-and-his-wikipedia-bio/

Say what you want about PNT, but be careful what you say about tattoo parlors! The Goldwater Institute might come after you…

Federalist – your claim that the New Times is ” is trampling on the most important right we have” is ridiculous. The New Times has no power to compel anyone to produce the identity of the author, it is simply asking who it is – that’s called Free Speech too.

They do imply that perhaps Lara is Candie Dates herself and that she basically “interviewed” herself – certainly nothing illegal in that but perhaps worth asking.

and I forgot to mention, if you’ve ever been a target of one of their “stories,” you’d fully see how full of lies they are. There should be more lawsuits against this piece of trash until it is shut down.

Anonymous political speech is protected free speech, which has been re-enforced in a ruling by the Supreme Court. The Federalist Papers were written by anonymous authors, who were the founders of our nation. The New Times, which claims to be so zealously guarding of our rights, is trampling on the most important right we have (there’s a reason why it’s the FIRST Amendment). Everyone should stop reading that piece of trash. There’s a reason why they have to GIVE it away. It’s been full of lies for years, and its reporters come from newspapers where they’ve been fired.
