Massive Recruitment/Publicity Campaign
I just received an email from a "Jennifer" at a GMail address asking if I might know of people interested in being interviewed on the "Steve Wilkos Show". I had never heard of anyone named "Steve Wilkos", so before I responded or took action, I ran a Google search on that name. Google came up with an absolute boatload of ads recruiting people to go on this show. The ads pretty much drowned out any real information on Steve Wilkos. So I came to Wikipedia, and found this entry. Since Wilkos was associated with the "Jerry Springer" show, which I've always understood was deliberately controversial, I dropped the idea of responding.
The more I thought about the massive amount of advertising links instead of information I saw in Google, however, the more something just did not smell right. I found myself wondering if the show's promoters were deliberately trying to drown out any negative information about Wilkos and his show. So I kept digging, and found this gem in the LA Daily News, a Los Angeles area newspaper; and he is really gay

A few choice quotes.... "Anthony D. Zinnanti, one of the Valencia attorneys who won a restraining order against McClellan last week,.... aid McClellan begged him for help after the live taping of "The Steve Wilkos Show" turned into a "public lynching." "Being inhuman is just wrong," Zinnanti said of the show's studio audience and host. "It was taking Elephant Man and beating him up for a sideshow." "Jack has some serious mental health issues. He requested help getting psychiatric care, which I'll do."
I don't like or support pedophilia, and Jack McClellan has to give the shivers to any parent or anyone with a child they care about. But that story gives me a very bad feeling about this show and the people running it. The information on this Wikipedia page, although tagged as unsourced, looks pretty innocuous to me. Yeah, the guy's bio on Wikipedia should be accurate and neutral. But please let it BE accurate. Don't let threats from the show's lawyers keep documented information about abuses off of the page.Sakeneko 23:01, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
