I'd like to turn everyone's attention to Exchibit A: A Fox News appearance where the second half of the entire interview focuses on "Not Anymore." Indeed, you gave them a clip from your film to play during your segment. Also in this interview, as you have in many other interviews, you talk about safety for journalists in Syria when you've openly admitted in this thread that you are not a journalist.

You had to provide them that clip so they could plug your film for 50% of the interview, so your above statement about how you "can't remember" such plugging or that it was unintentional or completely up to the hosts is either an obvious fiction or you are very forgetful. Would you be interested in explaining this?

Now let's look at Exhibit B: An appearance on BBC World News. In this clip, from September (not August when you claim they all were) you say, "I am hesitant to speak [for Steven Sotloff]" but then go on to speak for him anyway.

If you noticed, Steven and Jim's journalist colleagues have seldom gone on TV or print, yet you shameless continue to parade yourself as someone who can/could speak for them.

So you'd rather look like a self-aggrandizing, self-promoter while on TV to talk about brutally murdered journalists than contradict the host of a TV program. Got it.

I know for a fact you weren't at the Foley memorial event in NYC at the Half King because I've spoken to people who were there and according to them they never saw you.

Also, my point about your shamelessness is largely due to the fact that you openly speak on behalf of the dead, a criticism which you didn't respond to.

TV news programs routinely do "pre-interviews" with the guest and producers before the program, in which they also ask how you'd like to be introduced and go over the breadth of possible conversation topics. Are you saying that in all of these interviews, you never heard them mention your film, but that, nonetheless, it is mentioned at least once in nearly every single interview you do by the hosts? And why did you never object to this promotion of your film, particularly in the above case?

I'd also like to point to the other issue: where you routinely spoke on behalf of Foley and Sotloff, rather explicitly. Do you not find that a bit shameless?
