The Media and Blogs

Don't let anyone fool you into believing that the media do not read blogs. Nothing could be further from reality. When I wrote Remembering George A. Smith IV almost a month ago, it was my intent to honor the memory of a special person.

Here is what has resulted. I have been contacted by tv producers, newspaper reporters and freelance writers all grabbing onto this story. They have been relentless, pursuing me by e-mail and even somehow contacting me at my spouse's cellphone number on a Sunday morning while I was out of town. As I have told them, it is not my wish to comment on this story.

It is my only hope that the law enforcement looking into the truth about what happened to George are as relentless as the media.
