Expurgated: TWO EXCELLENT STORIES ON THE PARENT TRIGGER: Who ‘they’ are …stuff they don’t want you to know …and how they work to make sure you don’t find it out.

THESE ARTICLES HAVE BEEN REMOVED AT THE REQUEST OF THE AUTHOR

Yasha Levine Writes:

Thu, Apr 25, 2013 10:23 am  ::  I'm the author of the the two articles you published on your blog.

I'm glad you liked them, but we're a paid subscription publication that relies on people reading the site (and hopefully subscribing) in order to be able to support this kind of journalism.

You're welcome to include 2-3 paragraphs, but then please link to the main pieces. (Here are two links that will remain open to the public for the next 48 hours.

smf: I’m not about to butcher Levine’s journalism and carve out the choicest bits to give the reader a taste.  I wish Levine good luck with this business model of investigative journalism and I fully realize that a free press is never really free.

But I am enough of a provocateur (and an idealist) to believe that locking the truth behind a paywall isn’t freedom either. And I’m sure Ben Austin and the Waltons and the wonderful folks of ®eform, Inc.are glad to have this indictment placed where only subscribers can find it, like art locked away in a private museum for the enjoyment of the select few.
