To the PDI,
I have just reviewed the so-called "retraction" printed by your
newspaper, which so irresponsibly published the slanderous accusations
about Art Bell and am disturbed that you have not even bothered to
mention that Art is married to a woman who is of Filipino origin.
Do you not realize that you are insulting one of your own by failing to
acknowledge her existence in the life of the man you perpetrated this
fraud against? In addition, the tone of this so-called retraction is
very carefully worded so that those who are more interested in believing
these lies than in understanding the truth will see it as a mere
appeasement rather than an admission of wrongdoing.
To me, nothing less than stating "We are embarassed at our mistake and
admit we were very wrong." does NOT qualify as a retraction in the
least! Anyone with any intelligence will refuse to regard this newspaper
as anything but trash until this is done! You have failed to redeem
yourselves from this mistake, and your failure to do so will continue to
damage your credibility until you do.
