Sorry, but Mark Brown speaks the truth here.. For too
long TASC has said what its advertisers paid them to
say.  TASC was never interested in the truth.  I have
had multiple letters-to-the editor rejected simply
because my comments conflicted with article content (I
was right and the article content was wrong, but TASC
would not hear it).
