    Only way to fix this is to start shooting them dead while in the act. Word will get around, and it will stop. Quickly.

    I heard them talking about that on a radio talk show out of Fort Wayne, Indiana am 1190 WOWO. This is not really what I would consider a news outlet, after hearing this report in that manner, I would expect to turn on the evening news and here a detailed report with interviews of all parties envolved, with comment from those people who have skin in the game, (the people without electric power), unless I'm missing something here.

    It happened to be the first one I came to. There are other sites with the same news. Sorry if you don't believe it.

    And you must not listen to ANY news organization, because at one time or another, they've all been caught in a lie. MSNBC, Fox, NPR, the so-called "three majors"....so who do YOU listen to?

    After doing a little more digging (in between reading the Qualcomm and talking to my son), it appears that this may indeed be a rumor...time will tell....

    If it proves to be untrue, it's a shame that it's being picked up. But again....name one news organization or blogger that hasn't lied at one time or another...

    I really don't listen to or read any news outlets on a regular basis - it's all sensationalized entertainment, with very little fact or truth.
     
    48Packard Thanks this.

    I agree with you there. I was in radio for a dozen years back in the 80s and 90s, and compared to then (let alone the 60s and 70s), there are so many outlets competing for the viewer/listener point that news must be sensationalized or even created to get those ratings points. I truly miss the days of Cronkite, et al, though I was too young to appreciate it at the time.

    Not any more!

    Walter Crankcase had his issues, but at least they were hidden away well enough.
