The key to understanding the reporter is his own statement. Response from Paul Festa: " I felt, and still feel, that I had more than enough evidence to suggest that the problem was real and widespread enough to merit a news story." He sounds like this Drudge report guy. If you hear it from one or two sources it must be true. Not too much of a stretch from how the media does "legitimate" research anyways. The idea of having a statistical sample or at least a sampling beyond the complaints which come to his attention is just beyond reporter logic. Remember, you don't need any credentials or even a degree to be a reporter. To me widespread has to be something that occurs across the board to a significant percentage. Anything less than 5% frequency needs a sample of 100's or 1000's. He probably has not talked to more than a dozen people. Reporter BS, par excellance. Regards, David S.
