Al Giordano, publisher of authentic journalism at Narco News, responds to Project Censored’s hypocritical claim to own the words ‘censored news’ and its threat to file a lawsuit against Censored News
Dear Peter Phillips,
When in 2007 I rejected your Project Censored award I mentioned that I consider your organization a gigantic scam that abuses journalists and ordered you not to use my story in the book with which your organization sought to steal my work to make money for yourselves.
Thank you for, eight years later, having proved me absolutely correct about my judgement of you and your bottom-feeding, fraudulent crew.
Narco News and all our allies through the School of Authentic Journalism will be paying very close attention to whether you continue these threats against journalist Brenda Norrell, and in your attempts to silence and censor her continue. Guys who bandy about words like “cease and desist” are often the ones who need to take their own advice and cease and desist such infantile and greedy attempts to intimidate a journalist, and through her to the Native American movements for which she and Censored News provide unparalleled and vital coverage.
The suggestion that because your name is “Project Censored” that nobody else can use the word “censored,” that you somehow have a trademark on the word itself, is as laughable as it is disgusting. The word is “part of your lexicon?” Please provide me a copy of your registered trademark on Censored News for a story I’m reporting about this latest attack on press freedom and in favor of censorship, complete with the date that shows you registered it before Ms. Norrell began using it in her publication. Short of that, you have no case, Sherlock, and you know it. This is just an effort to bully a journalist whose support from other journalists you apparently underestimated.
Persist in your efforts to censor its use and don’t be surprised when you become, once again, the laughing stock of the entire international community of journalists, only at higher volume than ever before, because this latest stunt is so deliciously hypocritical it beyond human decency.
Oh, and have a nice day, Mr. Phillips, you miserable, creepy slob.
