LYDIA Hearst is being less than truthful about quitting her column in Page Six Magazine. The publishing heiress/model claims she wrote all her columns. She didn't. She was interviewed by a reporter, who put her thoughts into cohesive paragraphs. She claims she never criticized Hearst Corp. But she did. Exact words: "They're having events every night and shutting down magazines. I think it's excessive . . . People should focus more on work. It's a lot more important than parties at the moment." After Hearst canceled its Christmas party, Page Six Magazine went back to Lydia for further comment, and this is her e-mailed reply: "I do think they should cut back on events, but it is a bit sever [sic] to cut back on the Christmas party, that's like the joke in the Scrooge films where the holiday parties and bonuses are canceled." A Page Six Magazine editor said, "As this statement seemed overly harsh towards her family company, we decided to edit it out to protect her." With Hearst falsely accusing her editors of fabricating, she no longer deserves such protection.
