MAN THREATENS TO SUE THIS NEWS SOURCE; OH, WELL, YOU CAN'T GET 'EM ALL RIGHT.PITTSBURGH - The laugh's on this news source, which reported yesterday that Dr. William Friest, 60, a physician employed by the South Strabane Pain Clinic, was fired from his position groping. It turns out that wasn't entirely accurate. Dr. Friest was fired for griping about office policies, not groping. Nevertheless, this news source extrapolated from that faulty premise that Friest likely would be charged with indecent assault and that he would be forced to surrender his physician's license. It seems our faulty reporting has prompted Friest's wife to file for divorce. Moreover, he claims, all his friends have shunned him. And we can't imagine he'll ever be able to work in Western Pennsylvania again after that report. Oh, well, you can't get them all right. The fact of the matter is we've been wrong before -- plenty of times -- and we'll be wrong again, just as often. That's just the way it goes in journalism. Heh, heh! And frankly, if Friest wants to sue me, I say, "Come and try it. See what happens to you."
Anyway, watch that griping, Friest!
