and, of course, Wendy and Rob Lowe...

The LA Times reports that 2000 copies of the Chapman college student newspaper was stolen from campus racks. The paper contained an in-depth article on Susan Paterno's story on the News-Press and her legal travails. Wendy has issues with Paterno, a professor at Orange County's Chapman University, the reporter who wrote "Santa Barbara Smackdown" for American Journalism Review.

Well, it appears that Paterno was trying to get interviews with Dr. Laura and Rob Lowe for the "smackdown" story..both declined!

The Sound of Silence

By Susan Paterno From AJR, October/November 2006 The paper's (Santa Barbara New-Press) recently hired local columnist, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, the syndicated radio commentator, requested that I send her questions in advance before she would "commit to an interview," she wrote in an e-mail. As I was responding to Schlessinger, I received a call from Mike Paul, who described himself as "Dr. Laura's global PR consultant." He said Schlessinger is "a global brand, and she gets media opportunities all the time. If you don't provide the questions, then we can't help you." A few hours later, he followed up with another e-mail: "Let me be more clear: Dr. Laura and her team have decided to not participate at all with your story."

Not to be outdone, a publicist for actor Rob Lowe, whose request to have his address kept out of the paper sparked a major controversy, said Lowe would have no comment on the News-Press, now and "forever."

Would Rob or Laura, both Wendy loyalists, have reason to remove the Chapman papers? I dunno, but here's more, from the Book of Revelations:

" Schlessinger will claim she has dealt with the sham that she is a "psychologist". It benefits her image when her global PR firm is sloppy here, and does not notify for a correction. Schlessinger never had a Ph.D. in behavioral sciences. She misuses the title and benefits from this oversight because something like 98% of her radio act listeners believe she is a credible behavioral science Dr. The dictionary has several ways to define QUACK, in one example # "3. being a quack: a quack psychologist who complicates everyone's problems." is most fitting. Quack is the nicest term used in her town of residence. More people refer to her as charlatan or fraud. It can be said she is a quack and what she does is a radio act. In her global quest we hope people are smart and do more research. DO THE RIGHT THING. Don't hesitate to contact newspapers and bloggers who are taken in by the "psychologist" shams. The advertisers need to know what the public wants......
