According to Editor & Publisher, a white supremacist group has published the personal address of Herald columnist Leonard Pitts:When Herald Managing Editor/News Dave Wilson asked Overthrow.com to delete the address and phone number, site editor Bill White replied: "We have no intention of removing Mr. Pitts' personal information. Frankly, if some loony took the info and killed him, I wouldn't shed a tear. That also goes for your whole newsroom."
Apparently Overthrow.com had a problem with a recent Pitts column about a white couple killed by a group of blacks. Pitts ended his column with "I have four words for ... any other white Americans who feel themselves similarly victimized. Cry me a river."
Interestingly Pitts lives and writes in Maryland.

First, E&P did not break this story Redding News Review did:

Second, Bill White is a consistent contributor to the Washington Times:

I never said E&P broke the story. It's where I read it.
