What is it about that story that caught your attention? There were two things. One was how much damage can be done when some tidbit gets reported and there is a rush to judgment. One of my hobby horses. The other was that comments made by a talking head might be used as in a libel suit as an indicator of the reporter's state of mind. Having reporters appear as talking heads to discuss their stories is fairly new and that ramification never occurred to me. Was there anything there that interested you?
