I added Otto-da-Fe to my bloglist, which I have been meaning to get around to doing. There is a post there today about Newsday being accused of inflating their circulation to charge advertisers more. There is a $100 million federal racketeering lawsuit filed against the paper. I saw this today and was tempted to post about it, since the paper is so anti-Catholic it would give me some of that schadenfreude stuff. I worked as a temp at Newsday during my college years and one job I did there was to scan barcodes from the returned "unsold" papers. I was amazed at how many unsold papers there were but the charges are just charges, and my gut tells me the case may not go anywhere.
