Letters received dozens of messages from fans of radio and television personality Dr. Drew Pinsky, in response to an August 21 article reporting deaths and a rape at a rehab hospital with which he is associated. Jonathan Brill, of Los Angeles, summed up most respondents’ take:
It seems obvious that no direct of even indirect relationship between Dr. Drew Pinsky and the deaths or rape exists. Yet the tone of the piece is incredibly accusatory.... Your writers make it clear that their focus is not on the loss of life but rather on the sensationalism of a celebrity in hot water.
Also: thoughts on teachers’ pensions, whether or not the FBI is investigating City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo (and why the Bureau probably won’t be talking about it with the press) and Catholics on abortion.
