Dinesh D'Souza responds to World charges

Frankly, I am happy to know a hero may still be worthy of his status. I'm also shocked - for if this is true, it's quite a blow as World has exceptionally high journalistic standards (in preparation for my course next week, I've actually read Olasky's journalism guide and World's very thick Policy Manual).

I am suspending all comment and fully ready to apologize for my part in spreading this as soon as I know more. In fact, I will apologize now and let you know whatever I am able to learn in the days ahead.

'2016: Obama's America' filmmaker -- I am not having an affair

Editor's note: In September, author/director Dinesh D'Souza's movie "2016: Obama's America," became the second highest grossing political documentary of all time. On October 16th, on the day of the film's release on DVD, an Evangelical Christian publication, World magazine, published a story which raised questions about D'Souza's marriage and subsequent engagement. D'Souza responds below:

A recent article in World magazine gives the false impression that I, a married man, had an affair with a woman Denise Joseph at a Christian conference in Charlotte, N.C. The article alleges that I shared a hotel room with her and introduced her as my fiancé. Finally it states that I filed for divorce only on the day I was confronted about my conduct by intrepid reporter Warren Smith. Here are the facts:

1. My wife Dixie and I have been separated for two years. Dixie approached me and demanded this [a separation] before I came to King's College to become its president in late August 2010. I informed the chairman of the college about this at the time. I also informed the reporter who wrote the World article, Warren Smith, but he deliberately left it out of his piece, even though it is entirely relevant to the context.

2. I met Denise three months ago. We are not and have not been having an affair. Nor did we share a hotel room in Charlotte. Smith did not even ask me about this. Instead, Smith apparently deployed conference organizer Alex McFarland to call and raise the issue with me.
