After speaking with attorneys and PR consultants I have decided to spin this as follows:
A public mea culpa
Go out of my way to praise and thank the messenger
Pledge to track down all parties responsible, but they don't work for AQ limiting our options
Hedge by saying I may never get access to raw data, thus making previous statements moot
Oh by the way.....I knew about this issue a year ago, but chose to do nothing at that time
As for SP's involvement, I will say it has raised more than a few eyebrows, especially when other more ethically questionable publications passed on the opportunity. But, from the SP post and embedded links, one can read both sides of the story after a few clicks.
First an exodus of contributing writers, then the Glenn Frey back handed obit, now this. One may wonder what is going on.
Best, Ross
