True story ...

When I relayed what Doug Reichley had told me about Jim Martin having "friends" at The Morning Call to (then) Morning Call editorial gatekeeper and agenda framer Glenn Kranzley, Kranzley fumed openly and really blew his stack. "Is that right," Kranzley brayed, incredulous that anyone would tell the truth, "I'll have to speak w/ Doug about this." Which Kranzley did, immediately, and which prompted a series of frantic emails back & forth betwixt Doug Reichley and me, which I've (natch) retained. In a picayune and micro-managed email nutshell, Doug admits to saying both, "Bill, be careful ..." and ... "Jim Martin has friends at The Morning Call" ... but Doug does not recall (wink wink) the two statements being stated back-to-back. I do and they're back-to-back in my meeting notes.

tellingly, no one ever factually disputes our dirty facts on DA Jim Martin.
