90 unreliable sources, still light in the U.S. except for Fox.

In the last few hours, we've gone up to 199

USA Today, MSNBC, Business Week, Forbes via AP.

The focus is changing too. Check out ABC, Wikipedia Founder Hit With Relationship Trouble, Allegations of Excessive Spending

I know. You would have thought AP could have done better than to get Roscoe P Coltrane in to read the story. I could barely understand a word he said.

The SF Gate article has an excellent quote from WMF Chair Florence Devouard:

"I find (it) tiring to see how you are constantly trying to rewrite the past," she wrote to Wales in the message, which was obtained by the AP. "Get a grip!"


Gee, that's never happened before, has it?
