For reasons I still don't understand, Columbia Journalism Review recently published a passel of lies about me and LaBeouf. In this personal essay, I set the record straight.
I have to point out the way the CJR is acting towards not wanting to retract the story, correct, or apologize to you, Seth, it feels like a tRump hit job behind the scenes. When tRump fucks up (which is often as he is so stupid) and it is pointed out, instead of it being corrected and tRump apologizing for it, white washing language is used and nothing to see here is basically put out to all media to gobble up. I immediately think of #SharpieGate. It feels like tRump has tried to damage your reputation and it backfired (as it always does where tRump is concerned). You have all the receipts and willing to go toe-to-toe with them, which is their worst nightmare scenario.
I hope you sue them. Take them to task, Seth. Never back down.

I'm sending another email to CJR (editors@cjr.org) about their inaction on Lenz's article. (Last I checked, they weren't answering phone or fax.)
