The Toronto Star takes on Fern Hill. Refuses rebuttal.

Get this. The Toronto Star allows some random religious guy, Mark Penninga, to write an article attacking Fern Hill for a post she wrote on DammitJanet! No link, no credit, no name. Just attack.

The ironic part is the usually reliable Star is refusing a rebuttal from Hill, unless she drops her pseudonym. The writer of the Star article can attack Fern for a blog post written she wrote as Fern Hill but she can’t respond unless she uses her real name? The original post is credited to Fern Hill so why shouldn’t Fern Hill respond?

This is cowardly of Penniga and of the Star. Let Fern Hill respond to the attack. Talk about ‘gotcha’! This is why blogs rule and the MSM is retreating. We do the dirty work. They get the credit.

In any case, here’s Fern’s stellar rebuttal, published in DammitJanet! Pass it on.
