Zippergate.. To illustrate how incestuous the news gathering process has become, I just saw Sam Donaldson reporting that the President "..gave a dress," '.. she gave him a tape with sexually provocative language,' '...other gifts'... then he paused and said 'but that's all unproven' following that with an aside that there's all kinds of speculative information on the internet.

The internet has become as sourceful for "responsible" news reporting as the reporter pursueing telephone calls, friends of friends, official announcements, and traditional hearsay... indeed I'll take the liberty of adding another contraction to the English language updating hearsay to "netspeak."

Thus, "...according to netspeak sources, we've learned that a box of chocolates filled with suggestive liquid interiors were sent to the White House from Godieva! Sources close to the factory in Paramus New Jersey denied charges of wrongful FedXXXing, saying that future shipments will be made using UPS..."
