1. The press was exposed as lazy and gullible. At the very least, their desire to be first with the "news" removed any possibility of even the most superficial fact checking. True. But to be fair, they weren't expecting a joke played on them, and that's what made it so funny, especially since it was being read by this stone-faced woman. Even in her following apology she looked like a bulldog chewing a wasp ! Personally, in between crying with laughter, I almost felt sorry for her. Brill ! |

I'm sure we also used to complain about the delays in reporting the news while the stations checked the facts...
Things are more like they are today than they've ever been before...

Clinton that is a good point I think.
Today the news is so fast that you get it before it's happened.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

The management of Asiana Airlines is showing some good judgment, it seems.
