My view is that Andrea Vogt had been the main, often same day source for Peggy Ganong's site. Vogt wrote mainstream articles for the Seattle press claiming that it had been the Seattle-based haters who were being harrassed!!! It was quite the partnership.

Swallowing whole what the prosecution wildly claimed, is a different phenomenon than being directly manipulated by them.
Agreed. I don't think the two sites were directly connected to the police/prosecution but I do think they were looked upon favorably by them and may have provided info through a third party, perhaps Vogt or even Nadeau.

Neither TJMK nor PMF ever attempted to look at evidence from a fair and/or open-mind perspective. Everything for them had to be interpreted through heavily guilt colored glasses. As time passed, the sites became even more ridiculous and hateful. Today, TJMK is the last refuge of a small handful of extremists who feed off each other in their echo chamber. I'd feel rather sorry for them if they weren't just so hateful.
