Guess to improve our moral climate, is there retroactive denial available to the Focus on Family?

Barely 24 hours later, the same producer denied to Chris that he'd ever mentioned a D-Notice. Why the D-notice? Why the denial? Go to www.conservativecampaign.com. This is the scandal of 2006. Be the first or the last. Up to you...

Hopefully this is something that will be addressed someday in the near future, but I am inclined to believe that it won't be. Until then, I guess we'll be watching the edited "educational" stuff that the rest of the world fully views.
