                                                               News you're not supposed to know

--By the way!  If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, ripping off the title "PressWatch" and the byline "News You're Not Supposed To Know" must be like a big sloppy and totally unwelcome kiss.  Get your own titles and bylines, folks, so that no one confuses your sloppy conformist crap with my sloppy anarcho-socialist crap.  Keep crap separated, I say.
