What's freaking out the Warren Gullibles about this Landis thing is not just Mr. Landis' story itself but also the fact that it is getting not unsympathetic coverage from legacy media
That's EXACTLY what VF, the author of the book and the article author are hoping to happen. I've seen this way too many times over the years. Case in point - Clint the SS guy started off as a guy who was shaken by the murder and tried to be honest about what happened that day [circa late 60s]. Then, when the money machine kicks in and there's plenty of suckers to be had, he starts writing *SHOCKING NEWS ABOUT THE MURDER -- BUY HIS BOOK!!!* BS.
This Landis thing is no different and that's what we're seeing - the guy who just so happens to work at the same publishing company as Landis takes a "keen" interest in his long-lost tale, Landis writes the book, then the other guy writes an article in a "major" media outlet. All just in time two months before the 60th anniversary for the books to start flying of off the shelves.
