LLLefty, In all seriousness? I think this is part of the bashing. <<<<, I worked for AP for five years and the reputable wire services>>> I'm not saying that this was always in question. However today? The bold print takes on the Oxymoron concept of "Military Intelligence." Several years ago? I think you were right, however today? I really feel the integrity of the press is more at question than they want to hear. They may have had nothing to do with it? But they don't appear to be part of the solution either. Yet they seem to want peoples respect today, but put ratings and sales of subscriptions over quality reporting. I'll even apologize for saying this. However, I think it is more valid than the press wants to admit. "Just my opinion buddy. As usual. I could be wrong!" Your buddy, Jay

OT, The Hoax: You're right. A scam is a scam. And it's wrong. The main "beneficiary" of criticism that I saw on "hoax day" was directed at CNBC, perhaps overdone--but their reporting of it was slow, and cursory, IMO. I think that reflects the shoestring budget that they work on. They're trying to have their on-air people be the primary researchers as well, it seems. A little more back-office investment is needed there. But my criticism is directed mainly at the New York Times and my local paper. They missed the lead. The Times head, "Internet Hoax Roils Shares..." To me the remarkable thing was that the stock didn't move more. Re AP--As I indicated, my info was dated. Glad to hear controls are better nowadays. Now, if PAIR can get going on Avidia... Best, JS
