Good point, Stoat. My confidence in accurate reporting from the media has dropped in recent years!
Mine as well. For some time now, when there's been a heartstopping story in the MSM, my reaction has been "well gee, that's interesting, I wonder if it's true? I'll have to check with the bloggers and see if they verify it".
I have no doubt that if there has been an actual breaking of the encryption at a bank it will be all over the blogs within a few hours.
