I was particularly impressed with his coverage of the <A HREF="http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/012/315ypvlm.asp" REL="nofollow"> battle in Ramadi</A> and <A HREF="http://www.fumento.com/weblog/archives/2006/10/the_newly_falle.html" REL="nofollow"> the death of PO2 Michael Monsoor</A>, the Navy SEAL who has been nominated for a Medal of Honor for throwing himself on a hand grenade in Ramadi.Tom Forbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02080804561058476349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13796804.post-58796311249399814012007-10-09T20:09:00.000-07:002007-10-09T20:09:00.000-07:00Considering that the Mike commenting here is Micha...Considering that the Mike commenting here is <A HREF="http://www.fumento.com/" REL="nofollow">Michael Fumento</A> and a source that I trust, I'm inclined to take his word that the author I cited is incorrect in at least this one instance. Two of his books reside on my bookshelf.

Certainly his entry on me is a lie, although he explains he needed to add some conservatives and I do qualify there.<BR/><BR/>The very article he links to, although a hit piece against me by a BusinessWeek writer on a witch hunt to burn conservative writers, shows as much. As it indicates, I received a $60,000 book grant from Monsanto in 1999 and then in 2004 began a column with Scripps Howard. No, I didn’t mention the grant because 1) it was for a book, and 2) it ENDED four years before the column began.<BR/><BR/>Did Monsanto really give me a grant in 1999 hoping that at some point in the future I’d say nice things about them?<BR/><BR/>As it happens, I did perhaps 120-130 columns for Scripps and wrote about Monsanto all of twice. Did Monsanto really pay me $30,000 for each of two 700-word columns? And this was at a time when the plurality of my columns were about ag-biotech and Monsanto is the ag-biotech leader.<BR/><BR/>The dishonest person here is Mr. Nobody Randall Hoven, who tries to compensate by attacking Somebodies.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16908733379542980980noreply@blogger.com
