Not yet :) The saddest part was that he quoted me 3 times in his article but atributed my words to 3 seperate people. Apparently he was too busy fantasizing about some Dem female across the corner and didn't want his editor to know what a slacker he was. Journalistic integrity - bah.

Ah, lazy reporter. You're right - he probably was instructed by his editor to interview three people, and took the easy way out.
You should report him to his editor! :-D

During the Gulf war, we overheard two reporters at lunch, their conversation went like this: So and so in Riyadh said that he heard from so and so in Jeddah that we might attack on this date or maybe that date. What do you hear from Bahrain........, well Riyadh said that a member of the Generals staff told so and so....! I am not joking, we were laughing because we knew everything they said was wrong! That night it was no-longer funny, CNN reported that very conversation as sources close to the General said. Even less funny was when I had to call home to tell my poor mother glued to the TV, to ignore a CNN report, we were not attacked. Thank God we had phones, imagine Korea and Viet Nam, when you had to wait for telegrams. Reporters are lower than ambulance chasers.
