Fish Grow Larger Too With Each Retelling

Ha ha, they just kept finding more and more! Kind of like clowns spilling out of a VW bug.

Excellent! Well done! I did a little back searching on this and know its not that easy to uncover this kind of story.

You have really done a fantastic job of uncovering this and presenting it in a way that reveals how the propaganda machine works.

Your blog has become a regular read for me, and I have put an RSS link to it in my own blog "Future News Today". Thanks for your dedication.

Love your blog. Just one suggestion. Could you turn on links for individual posts? This would make it much easier to link to your articles. You can do this by going into blogger and in the Settings -> Archiving tab selecting "Enable Post Pages? = Yes". (Unless you have some sort of custom setup.)

Basically, I'd like to be able to click on the title of the post and go straight to a page that only contains that post. This is typical for most blogs. I did notice that if I click on the submission time, I get to a page with that post. But most people wouldn't find that link.

I'm also not crazy about the popup comment form, but that's just me. I have mine set to Settings -> Comments -> Comment Form Placement = "Full Page". That's just a matter of style.

Since you have been so good at pointing out some of the glaring flaws and inconsistencies in this story, I want to give you some more information to see if you can decipher it.

I tried to put this all into one comment, but it got too long and exceeded the limit of 4096 characters. So I put my reply into a post on my blog. You can find it here.
