On Friday, July 18th, Bob Kittle of the San Diego Union Tribune appeared on KPBS radio's "Editor's Roundtable." In the last few moments of the show, Mr. Kittle made three statements about his newspaper and UCAN. Kittle's statements are so disingenuous that one can only conclude that Mr. Kittle's grip on the truth is a slippery one. Full Story.

UCAN has received a number of complaints regarding the Union-Tribune's unwillingness to print public denunciations of its July 14th Editorial Opinion by Robert A. Kittle. The Union has even refused to print UCAN's response. In his editorial, Mr. Kittle used unsubstantiated "facts" provided by Sempra Energy to produce an embarrassingly inaccurate "hit piece" that attacks UCAN as a "Lucrative Ripoff." The Union-Tribune also declined to publish a letter written by highly regarded law professor Robert Fellmeth, a Price Professor of Public Interest Law at the University of San Diego, rebutting the Union's editorial. The letter has not been published. The letter is compelling. The U-T doesn't want you to know about it. We do. Here it is: Click here.
