Hold on sister, just because a company is mainstream doesn't mean that they don't do malicious things. At times, media is used as a primary weapon of attack. What do you think the political elements of this world use? Anyway, the timing and content of this article seem "strange" to say the least. This information is not new. Anyone who did 10 minutes of research knew this. Why was this media soooo willing to put out this info AFTER the fact? We don't need "tattle tales." That's just like: Joe kicks Bobby in the knee. Bobby tells the teacher, Joe gets detention. 3 days later Fred tells the teacher that Joe kicked Bobby the other day.... after EVERYONE already knew about it. what the $#%@# is that!! If I was the teacher, I'd have to ask myself, "what is Freds purpose for telling me this?" I'd tell that little $#@! Fred to sit the *%$@# down, mind his own business and stop being a "tattle tale". Lupins wrote: "If there were more examinations of companies by business media...say like Bre-x...maybe people wouldn't be on these threads screaming about how much money they lost." It's not the medias' responsibility to do homework for everyone. Investors who don't do their own homework deserve to lose money. Besides, nothing was "exposed".

SO called mainstream media outlets can be malicious. Don't think that those who write for NYtimes, and other well known papers (even TV) are objective. Just ask CNN....who doesn't let the facts get in their way to make serious allegations.
