Dushku posted an angry, <a href=\"http:\/\/elizapatriciadushku.com\/2011\/08\/30\/open-letter-to-the-daily-mail\/\" target=\"_blank\">open letter <\/a>in retaliation.<\/p>\n<p>Editor-in-Chief, The Daily Mail<\/p>\n<p>Dear Sir,<\/p>\n<p>I write to you because the piece of your paper that concerns me was anonymous. The piece was 27th August titled \u201cAre times that tough Hayden?\u201d ridiculing and attacking the actor Hayden Panettiere for participating in a Toronto Expo fan gathering where fans are charged money (Oh shock! Oh shame!) in exchange for autographs, signed pictures, and the chance for a bit of face time with their favorite celebrity.<\/p>\n<p>My dear editor, how does Hayden\u2019s action differ from what you do for much of the content of your \u201cnews\u201d paper? There we have celebrities exchanging their name (sometimes willy-nilly, no permission asked), their time, and their pictures in exchange for a bit of publicity for their work. At least the fan shows (such as the current Toronto Expo one) are honest and up front about the exchange. In addition, at these shows both fans and celebrities get some precious small contact with each other as real people. Your paper does not provide that value.<br \/>\nYes, you will have to tell me where you think you get off attempting to diminish a young actor who is attempting to reach out to fans in one of the only practical ways provided by the entertainment industry, an industry your paper is a part of and largely dependent on.<br \/>\nIt is particularly shoddy that the author scoffs at Hayden\u2019s lack of \u201cHarry Potter\u201d or \u201cSpiderman\u201d fame while leaving himself unnamed as \u201cDaily Mail Reporter.\u201d Talk about being a parasite! Does Daily Mail Reporter want to shoot down Hayden\u2019s career, just at it\u2019s beginning, and then take a salary for doing so. Seriously, Sir, for shame.<\/p>\n<p>Eliza Dushku<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Buffy actress hits back slayer style about fan conventions<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":17038,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"MSN_Categories":"Uncategorized","MSN_Publish_Option":false,"MSN_Is_Local_News":false,"MSN_Is_AIAC_Included":"Empty","MSN_Location":"[]","MSN_Add_Feature_Img_On_Top_Of_Post":false,"MSN_Has_Custom_Author":false,"MSN_Custom_Author":"","MSN_Has_Custom_Canonical_Url":false,"MSN_Custom_Canonical_Url":""},"categories":[1,140],"tags":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Eliza-Dushku-.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17024"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/35"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17024"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17024\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17038"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17024"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17024"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
