RE: Article in Citizen quoting Parks talking to Science Magazine
I am shocked by the article on the front page of The Citizen this morning. I have never spoken to Science magazine in my life. Their story is a complete fabrication but I am surprised that your newspaper did not even make an effort to check the veracity of the claims made in the report. I had thought that now that you have taken over the Citizen you would make an effort to develop its objectivity and accuracy.
