I also recall a major news paper who had someone on their staff who ultimately was found to be stealing other reporters work and passing it off as their own. Ultimately the person who wrote the fortune article could have a personal axe to grind, could possibly want to hurt a certain stock and help another stock or could just be a friggin moron who after a simple search of the internet could find updated information and ultimately not look so incompetent. I heard about the BG site a while ago and read it multiple times a day regardless of the topic. BG has the real info and certainly has the contacts. Well said.

So to say no one reads Fortune, when it's linked directly from CNN.com and CNNMoney.com is a wee bit short-sighted. @theMIDkid, I’m not sure if you looked at the URL in which Time Inc’s Fortune Magazine is published at, but CNN.com happens to be one of the most read websites in the world and owned by the biggest media company in the world (Time Warner).
