Mark Henkel persisted Associated Press AP Jennifer Dobner clarify - 2 - Sept 2006

National Polygamy Advocate

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel persistently sought for Jennifer Dobner to make a regular clarification for articles in the Associated Press (the AP newswire), reaching her on September 8, 2006. --Part 2 of 2.-- One week previously, the fugitive on the FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted List, the cult leader of FLDS, Fundamentalist LDS, Warren Jeffs, had been caught and arrested. For that week, Mark Henkel persisted for Jennifer Dobner to include a clarifying statement that the national polygamy rights movement for unrelated consenting adults has always opposed that cult leader and criminal, were glad that he was caught, and both loathe and do not participate in those crimes. This is Part 2 of 2 recordings that show how Mark Henkel was able to begin getting this essential clarification made. The reporter said, "The New York Editors don't care." Mark Henkel said that it was looking like "the AP is not Associated Press but is the Associated Propaganda." He also used the comparative metaphor of a media in the 1950s and 1960s reporting on some singularly local gang of African American men "raping a white girl" but refusing to clarify in their news reports about it, making it look like all African American men do that, and when national-level leader Martin Luther King Jr. repeatedly asked the media to clarify that the violent gang of criminals are adamantly opposed by everyday normal African Americans too, the media refused to do so. He explained that that is what the manufactured news outlets are doing to polygamists with this story by not adding Mark Henkel's clarification. The reporter said that she had understood and she positively worked for a way to include a clarification. Subsequently, when she was finally able to get the beginning of such clarification past her editors, Mark Henkel followed up with a call left as a voicemail to thank her and keep it progressing - which is included at the end of this audio.
