Those Who Have Been Harmed By Tony Ortega Deserve Justice

Back in the day, Tony Ortega was nothing but a small time, no name tabloid writer. In countless ways, very little has changed over the intervening years. Especially as far as name recognition goes. The only difference is he now calls himself “unemployed blogger on the fringes of the internet.”

Still, during his time as a small-time hack writer Tony Ortega took a lot of actions which, to this day, he has never really talked about. He made scores of false accusations, abused many of his so-called ‘sources, and hurt countless people in the process. And yet, no backwater editors, or dime store book publishers, or over-hyped documentarians who have wanted Tony Ortega for their own business designs have ever really pressed him to give details about the harm he’s caused.

The reason for writing about this now is because all the failed books have been written, the laughably infantile articles have been long since forgotten, but none of the crimes of Tony Ortega have really ever been answered for.

Seeing these recent suits in federal courts across the nation, aimed at bringing justice against those who Tony Ortega explicitly provided propaganda cover for – Backpage.com.

We here at the blog have nothing to personally gain or lose by Tony Ortega stepping up and answering for what has been done to people as part of his insidious work to sow division and spread lies.

But the Tony Ortega’s victims still are waiting.

All those lies, the slumping book sales, all those hero-worshipping praises by the narrow-minded bigots and astroturfed Twitter accounts who follow his online troll account…

And still, no justice for the victims of Tony Ortega.

So.

We keep writing about it.

And pressing the issue.

Unlike the tabloid publications or the book sellers desperate enough to stock Tony Ortega’s dribble, who all have something to gain by keeping Tony Ortega on their radar, we remain unimpressed by Tony’s total silence on the subject.

No matter how many books have been printed, or hit pieces hastily written for his dwindling online followers, one fact remains:

T hose who have been harmed by Tony Ortega deserve justice.
