Interesting comments over at the Outpost website on this week's PETA story. One comment that doesn't show up there is a letter to the editor from the Northern Plains Resource Council complaining that the story provided no rebuttal to the Center for Consumer Freedom's characterization of NPRC as an "East Coast propaganda machine."

That's probably a fair criticism. I included the remark in the story to give readers some perspective on where the Center for Consumer Freedom is coming from. Juxtaposing its views of PETA against the views of an organization familiar to many Outpost readers, I thought, would give a sense of its ideology and tactics. But I can see why NPRC would resent the comparison without further elaboration.
