Andrew Carlssin I see I am receiving massive amounts of google hits on the inside-trader claiming he was a time traveller. To read my entry about him go to this entry. While you're here, I hope you enjoy some of the other things I've written about. Welcome! PS: I haven't found any follow-up on this story, and I only ever found three media comments about the alleged time traveller. I still have a theory it was an April 1st story that was published a bit too early... 11:57:32 AM    comment []

US court: Press is allowed to lie A Flordia appeals court has reversed a $425,000 verdict in favour of journalist Jane Akre, who successfully proved that she had been pressured by Fox Television (of course!) to lie to the public. Fox argued that they were indeed permitted to lie, and this court, unlike previous courts, agreed that FCC's rules against news distortion was a "policy" not a law, rule or regulation. As such, Fox Television successfully defended its right to lie, and will no doubt continue doing so as a matter of policy. Nothing will change, then. Thanks to the Marprelate Tracts for this gem. 7:10:37 AM    comment []
