You good folks seem to forget something! Berg is a freelance reporter! That means he can submit all the articals he wants til he's Blue in the face but it doesn't mean it will get published. And knowing the LA times as I do they are not quick to publish anykind of a retraction ! You'll just have to take the BEND OVER with a smile ;} Retraction Never happen ! Oh you say we don't want a retraction just want your side of the story told. YYYEEEAAAA RRRIIIGGGHHHHTTT ! They will still look at it as some form or retraction, but if you think it will make the bend over feel any better, maybe thinking it will apply a bit of K-Y then have at it and good luck !
