Hi,
I remember in the days after the space shuttle accident, I saw
on CNN, that they were displaying how many times faster than
the speed of light that the space shuttle was going. Yes, they
actually said speed of light. And I was surprised at how long
they let it run like that before it was removed, hours at least.
Just shows you can't believe everything you read, see on TV, etc.
I was also surprised I never heard anyone else mentioning it.
Best Regards

It never made
it to CNN or MSNBC.
MSNBC's web site also altered a story the other day regarding Osama bin
Ladin and Iraq. The first release made mention that bin Ladin was calling
his people to kill Hussein. Then, when the US held a press briefing on
the same topic, and tried to make it sound as if bin Ladin was in cahoots
with Hussein, MSNBC suddenly altered their story, removing the reference.
No explination to the change. Could have been an error, could have been
an oversite, could have been a request by someone... could have been
anything. Point is, the story took a change to reflect the US governments
desired position on the topic, and they just pretened it had always been
that way.
Humm... does Winston Smith work for MSNBC?
