As Jerry Roberts' colleague of many years (two of them as his managing editor at the News-Press), I've watched from afar as our former employer has marshaled her considerable fortune to personally attack an honorable man and talented journalist . I didn't think I could be surprised any more by her tactics.
Until this week.
To Ms. McCaw, I'd ask the same question that Sen. Joseph McCarthy was asked, after he had gone too far, too many times, in his attempts to ruin the lives and reputations of innocent people:
"Have you no sense of decency?"
And I'd like to remind the people of Santa Barbara that false charges like those leveled by Ms. McCaw -- no matter how fanciful -- require a legal response. Legal responses cost money. That's why I've worked with Jerry's friends and colleagues in Northern California to raise money for the Lawyers Alliance for Free Speech Rights.
Please contribute to this legal defense fund so that Jerry and other threatened by Ms. McCaw's bullying are able to fight back.
