[Imc-web] Re: [Imc-staff] remove article!

[Mike Lehman]

Dear Ms. Pippow,
My apologies, for the incorrect link. The one you posted is the correct 
one. My computer was having some issues this morning and wouldn't 
cut-and-paste, so I did it manually and entered the incorrect article 
number.

I am not sure what press laws are like in Germany. I lived there once 
for over 3 years, but was too young to really pay attention to such 
things. However, in general, I am aware that there are some differences.

In the US, generally when you speak with a journalist, they may quote 
you as they desire. They may not substantially misrepresent what you 
said, but they are allowed to edit it as they see fit. This is because 
of the First Amendment to the US Constitution, among other reasons.

You have not indicated that Ms. Doggett misrepresented or misquoted you. 
You simply want your "name off the internet" which is a pretty difficult 
thing to do, whether or not Ms. Doggett is able to respond and assist 
you. However, as I stated, in the absence of communication from the 
author, unless there is some violation of our website use policies 
(which does not appear to be the case here), we do not alter the content 
of an author's work.
