I thought it was a possiblity until I checked Google News.

Article from the Miami Herald

Mercury News

Charlotte Observer

Mmmmm, you're right, this is worse than I thought.

I notice that what they seem to be targeting is 'obscenity', as opposed to pornography, but that's not much comfort. A DOJ that spends time and money going after something that subjective scares me a lot more than pictures of people having sex with animals, or whatever.

Thanks for the info.

The nature of Associated Press is that each member files stories for the use of other members. From the looks of it, one of Knight-Ridder's reporters picked up the AP filing from Baltimore, rewrote it, then put it on the wire to Knight-Ridder's clients. (Or, in the alternative, the Baltimore reporter rewrote the KR story)

At any rate, the stories you linked to are all the same Knight-Ridder story bylined to the same reporter.

So... repetition of the story doesn't bolster its credibility if it all comes from the same source.
