        @avantgame 1344ET As I ask PR contacts when they say "journalist": Are you talking about someone I would call a journalist? Usually, no.

        @avantgame Perhaps when someone asks for your input into their articles, ask them first, 'Have you read my book?' #prerequisite

        @avantgame - This is just another example of why many people distrust the media. Too often, they are looking for sensationalism, not truth.
