This is absolutely false and you should be ashamed of yourself for
saying it.
John Seigenthaler, Sr. is a hero. He founded an organization devoted to
the defense of the First Amendment. In all my interactions with him, he
has been kind and thoughtful.
He is very much *not* litigious. (He never threatened to sue Wikipedia,
and he specifically chose not to pursue legal action to force the ISP to
cough up the name of the person who libelled him.)
