I, also, wish to respectively, remind everyone that...
different newspapers and media "news vendors" are not as accurate nor are they precise in the reporting of events and the implied interpretations of quotes, and other resources in which, the news vendors utilize.
In other words, when one hears that "....Tobacco Companies smashed by ...such and such...", consider the source,
Is this report from Reuters, The Washington Post, L.A. Times, or the Finacial Times of London. Is this a newscast from ABC, or Turner's CNN.
The MSNBC morning business show, has a long history of talk talk talk always instant analysis. Hmmmm??
Beware of instant analysis....
Consider , last week, I personally, did not see or hear any mention of The Iowa nor the Pennsylvania cases...ruling in favor of Tobacco. on the business shows.
But , upon reflection, these are vital to the long range strategy, of of losing battles, but winning the war in the courts.
And...let no one be mistaken, this is WAR.
Eonomic war on a grand scale. Not trivial issues here.
...well...you get the point...
...much effort in discrimating news from the noise !!!...
