Maybe it's just our awareness of what's going on? even the last year or so where blogging *cringe* has got pretty big, news is more free than its ever been.
If anyone gets time download the torrent I posted above, I'm preaching to choir here but still.
Also if you want another example of this bullshit, i'm sure HCW can explain a little when he's back, I linked to an article in another thread but he's in court for another few weeks, more on that sometime.
Edit : news today! (I didn't read it)
