Heh, heh...careful, Bill, Zoom sued somebody new last week (actually, asked
the court's permission to add someone new as a co-defendant in an existing
case). He'd probably be happy to add your name to the list. :-)

Actually, the Blair case, the Glass case, and the McPaper incident
referenced above all highlight how the system is *supposed* to work. One
can only imagine how these cases would have turned out if the reporter had
also been both the editor and publisher. The unethical behavior would
probably still be going on...with threats of legal action against anyone
who dared question the coverage.
