On a slightly related note, folks at the
http://WorldWideWardrive.org have been kicking back and forth this thread
about reporters either making stuff up, not checking their facts, or
simply not paying attention to the people they interveiw. It's rediculous
some of the articles that were writen in major publications which
misrepresent people, and stuff, and are clearly imagined 5 minutes before
deadline. I like how Fleishman makes fun of some of them.
