Pasadena Star News Prints Response On Male DV Victims

	posted by Scott on Saturday June 02, @06:23PM from the domestic-violence dept.
	Marc Angelucci writes "The Pasadena Star News printed my letter responding to their editor's downplaying of male victims of DV. In the original editorial in which the editor belittles the numbers, the editor made a fool of himself because he assumed the National Institute of Justice was some crazy advocacy group and he said "something called the National Institute of Justice says . . ." When I pointed this out to him and showed him the data, he became upset and evasive, called it "nutty," and said "I don't believe your data." (As though it were "my" data and not the National Institute of Justice's data.) I think he's just upset that he made himself look like a fool." Update: I've fixed the link to the story. Another update: But now it's broken again! Read More to view instructions on how to access it.

Finally! (Score:2) by Nightmist (nightmist@mensactivism.org) on Saturday June 02, @07:22PM EST (#1) (User #187 Info) May I just say, "It's about time!" I wonder what took them so long to print that letter? As for "nutty," Marc, I'm not surprised that Mr. Wilson would have that reaction. Most print editors nowadays have knee-jerk opinions based solely on their own politics, rarely bothering to research their subject before they put fingers to keyboard. And when they find out they're wrong? Well, that's just too bad because they will NEVER admit it. Part of the print editor's code nowadays, I suppose. I can tell you, it is NOT easy for an ethical journalist to find a newspaper he wants to work for nowadays.

URL Changes (Score:2) by Nightmist (nightmist@mensactivism.org) on Sunday June 03, @07:15AM EST (#3) (User #187 Info) Apparently, the URL for this story changes every day. Here's how to get to it by manually navigating the site: * Go to the Pasadena Star News home page, www.pasadenastarnews.com * In the NEWS SECTION menu, click EDITORIALS * You'll see a new submenu under EDITORIALS. From there, click LETTERS TO THE EDITOR * You'll see a drop-down menu at the top of the page with today's issue date in it. Change the date to June 1, 2001 (click "GO" if your browser is not JavaScript enabled) * Marc's letter is the second on the page. Perhaps it's a simple mistake, but I also noticed that the Star News screwed up the URL for the Martin Fiebert findings Marc mentions.
