Regarding the eight page pamphlet inserted into last week’s newspaper by advertiser Tom Barnett; it was not produced by The Echo.
We regret not noticing it was anonymous, and our role in unwittingly distributing unreliable information.
Echo readers have pointed out that if you read enough of the websites cited in the pamphlet, you’ll start wearing tinfoil hats.
It is untruthful, for example, to propose anthropogenic (human induced) climate change doesn’t exist. At The Echo, we embrace the colourful kaleidoscope of ideas from this wonderful community, yet put every effort into only publishing accurate and correct information.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
