[edit] Criticism

Canada Free Press and Garth Pritchard apologized in 2005 to David Pugliese and CanWest Global Media Works Publications Inc. for allegedly defaming them in an article written by Pritchard entitled "Bedroom Slipper Journalism". Pritchard had falsely accused Pugliese of not having any hands-on experience, and lacking credibility. In fact, Pugliese has reported from active war/conflict zones as well as peacekeeping operations.
