Comments on: It's never the women, is it? Always the pigs. http://www.jinamoore.com/2009/04/22/its-never-the-women-is-it-always-the-pigs/ Reporter & Producer Thu, 10 May 2012 22:24:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Rhonda R Shearer http://www.jinamoore.com/2009/04/22/its-never-the-women-is-it-always-the-pigs/#comment-73 Rhonda R Shearer Wed, 22 Apr 2009 14:09:51 +0000 http://jinamoore.com/?p=510#comment-73 Hi, I thought I should clarify a couple of points...first of all you wrote: "But Wemp, apparently, told said watchdog org that it was all true (says Forbes). Oops" This is incorrect. Forbes made an error and are correcting it as all interviews were conducted in English. The problem for Daniel is that the names are true and he and others are falsely identified as criminals. It is a danger for him and the others to use real names-- as Diamond's article itself makes clear---please read my report that explains more http://www.stinkyjournalism.org/latest-journalism-news-updates-149.php Secondly, Forbes did not say we sent 40 anthropologists to PNG--just that we talked to 40 in the course of our research. Bottom line--New Yorker went to press accusing indigenous people --who they named --of crimes they did not commit--rape, murder, theft--without even attempting to contact them to give them an opportunity to respond before publication. Diamond or The New Yorker had no idea if the people they mentioned were real people or if the charges of criminality were real...this is just plain wrong. Thanks for hearing me out...
