Prometheus 6

I read on Slashdot about how Lee Kaplan, a journalist for FrontPageMag.com sued Yaman Salahi, a UC Berkeley student and blogger, in California small claims court for tortious business interference and libel, in response to a blog Salahi had set up about him called "Lee Kaplan Watch." Salahi lost in small claims court and then lost an "appeal" — which is essentially a retrial by another small-claims judge. Seem small claims court has no regard for the first amendment, seriously.

I went and wandered around Lee Kaplan Watch. I'd never heard of him before, so was curious. I didn't see anything beyond ther pale. Bad decision. While there I found a link to another blog, named Kaplan Lies.

There is another blog exposing Lee Kaplan's journalism nowadays called "Kaplan Lies: Exposing the fraudulent journalism of Lee Kaplan." I briefly looked over the posts they have up there right now. Their articles are far more thorough and well-developed than anything we have posted here. Check out their refutation about Lee's recent smear campaign against Holocaust survivor Hedy Epstein, and their step-by-step breakdown of allegations Lee has made regarding the ISM.

Contrary to what some of the comments there claim, I am not affiliated with the blog. But, it is far more sophisticated than this blog, and I suggest readers start following that one as well, since updates here have become scarce.

I went to Kaplan Lies, a Wordpress.com-hosted blog...and it's gone...

which I found interesting. So I went to check out the Google cache...search for cache:http://kaplanlies.wordpress.com/. Nothing beyond the pale...but I guarentee Kaplan used the small claims court decision against Salahi to shut down Kaplan Lies...which made it a doubly bad decision.
