Well, John, this is just one of the things I noticed about Brock's piece. On NPR of all places, which is, as you know, certainly not a "right wing station".... Brock says now, that WHILE researching his book, he was "fed false information" about Hill. First of all, what kind of "researcher" is this man???? Would you only rely on one source if you were writing a book? No, I wouldn't either. He doesn't name his sources, but says "right wing activists "fed" him info.... What, they tied him up, and held a spoon to his mouth and "fed him false" info?????? He says in this same paragraph that he "TRIED" to contact Hill in 1998..... I ask you::::: Have you EVER "TRIED" to drop a pen? No, you either DROP it OR you don't. It will be VERY interesting indeed to see what footnotes he includes in his newest book while trying to set the record straight..... npr.org Brock now says that, when he was writing for the conservative magazine The American Spectator and researching his book The Real Anita Hill, he was a tool of right wing activists who fed him false information about Hill. At the time, Brock tells Totenberg, he accepted the truthfulness of the information without checking. But he since has learned he helped spread lies, he says, and is trying to set the record straight in a memoir due out next month. Brock tells Totenberg he even tried to contact Hill in 1998 to apologize, but ultimately "didn't have the guts" to talk to her.
