Okay, if I had any lingering doubts remaining about the integrity of CNN, they've now vanished out the window.. CNN sponsored a "live chat" with Bill Clinton yesterday on an IRC server..they were having problems with the server load, and someone managed to grab President_Clinton's /nick and post the response "Personally, i would like to see more porn on the Internet. Wolf, how about you? Are you all for more porn on the Internet?" But does a single word of this make it to cnn.com? Not that I can see - their reports on the interview just talk about how wonderful it was. http://www.cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLITICS/stories/02/14/clinton.cnn/index.html http://cnn.com/2000/US/02/14/clinton.transcript/ They didn't even try and put a positive spin on the security breach - it just never happened. Shame.. http://www.boredom.org/cnn/ Kris ---- "How many roads must a man walk down, before you call him a man?" "Eight!" "That was a rhetorical question!"
