[introduction]
Salient Can Now Reveal that a journalist, Kevin Sinclair, is a member of the staff of "New Zealand Truth."
The Staff of the socalled "New Zealand" Truth also includes several self-confessed Englishmen.
I Attempted to interview the editor of "Truth"—but as soon as I dialled the number I got the "engaged" signal.
The questions I wanted to ask the editor were contained in a letter I forgot to post. These are the questions that he wouldn't listen to:
- • Is Sinclair, a card-carrying member of the journalists' union, on the staff?
- • Are there Englishmen on the staff?
- • Does Lux toilet soap clean your skin deep down?
But it appears these questions will not be answered.
One person I was unable to track down for comment was the Duke of Edinburgh.
In the past, efforts have been made to eliminate criticism by removing journalists from the staff. But a cursory glance at "Truth" reveals the name of Sinclair and several other practising journalists.
