CUs ready to battle the media in war of words over the reality of Y2K cutimes.com >>Kelly admits that the kind of news reports he wants to see aren't very sexy and probably won't do anything for the journalists' careers, but that's tough. "Sure, reporting that everybody is ready for Y2K isn't going to sell, but they're supposed to strive for accuracy, not sensationalism," said Kelly. He wonders if the mass media would like it if the shoe were on the other foot. "I equate what they're doing to us about Y2K, to us spreading the word that newspapers are going to become toxic in the year 2000 and nobody should buy them. It sounds crazy, but we think their reports are crazy," said Kelly. <<
