It was a concern of mine when I originally posted this that it came across as a hit piece on Marrs. Thus I'm glad that people haven't taken it as such.
The real hit piece on him was done by Robert Wilonsky and Dave Perry in 2000 (I don't have the heart to promote their dirty work and it's just a Google search away anyhow) In hindsight JM should have done a little backtracking before he invited the guy into his home.
You'll see in my spare time, that I've done a background check on RW's previous stuff and there was no way in 'hell' Mr Wilonsky was ever going to do an objective piece. The stuff below needs to be edited and may not make the final cut when it's submitted in it's present form. But I hope it's useful to you all. I apologise for any of my usual poor grammar lol.
"Prior too the Marrs article in 2000 Wilonsky had been on the Kennedy beat for sometime before his big break on Marrs. He and Dave Perry's articles had appeared in Steve Gerlach's Probable Cause' magazine in November of 1994. Wilonsky was interviewing General Edwin Walker (http://roswell.fortunecity.com/angelic/96/pcissu8.htm). He then wrote a glowing tribute to Mailers Oswald's Ghost in 1995 (http://www.dallasobserver.com/1995-05-11...d-s-ghost/) there's an interesting interview he did with Jesse Curry's son Gene in which Wilonsky condemns the critics for ruining Curry's career when in fact it was actually the Dallas Citizens Council, and his buddies at the DPD, Hoover at the FBI and then the Warren Commission whom essentially scapegoated him. (http://www.dallasobserver.com/content/pr...ion/273975/) Curry in all reality is one person the average critic' regards as one of the few members of the DPD whom came away with his dignity intact. Wilonsky never mentions that Curry in his biography stated "We don't have any proof that Oswald fired the rifle, and never did. Nobody's yet been able to put him in that building with a gun in his hand."(Groden & Livingstone; High Treason, pg 237) And as can be seen here in his interview with Peter Dale Scott discussing a shot from the right front in Dealey Plaza circa 1977. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7Zk5LNWY8U).
He can also be seen making odd jibes about Neil Burgers Interview With an Assassin'. Which Wilonsky, also a film critic (and a rather poor one at that) praised this lame conspiratorial variation of the infinitely better Belgian Man Bites Dog (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103905/) as poking fun at conspiracy theorists' when it was merely a mockumentary that implied the central character was a shooter, capturing a juxtaposition as to whether the character was for real or not. He also took a mean spirited swipe at COPA that very same year (http://www.dallasobserver.com/2002-11-28...-the-dark/)
It should be no surprise he has given ever so kindly' coverage (http://www.houstonpress.com/2003-03-13/film/kill-shot/) to Gary Mack and the 6th Floor Museum a number of times in a highly favourable manner. (http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/unfairpa...nal_ge.php) Of note is his touching article detailing Bill Paxtons photographed attendance at JFK's Fort Worth Address the morning of the Assassination of which the 6th Floor Museum cashed in on (Paxton is behind the current Bugliosi inspired Hanks production). (http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/unfairpa...john_f.php) He's also given favourable reviews of Bugliosi's awful tome (http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/unfairpa..._na_na.php). Wilonsky still wasn't finished with Jim Marrs. He browbeat him again in 2006 (http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/unfairpa..._marrs.php)"
