Wouldn't zero divided by two still be zero?

I like reading such crap in the press about topics I am knowledgeable about. They remind me that articles about topics I have no clue about are probably crap, too, even if I lack the knowledge to see it. Such as gas attacks in Syria or revolts in Ukraine.

sounds like they added 750,000(clients) and what was supposed to be 100,000(company), but they saw 1,000,000.  Sad that armchair bloggers are more scrupulous than MSM and have been for some time. 

My solution: (Steal this idea)

Someone build a "skin" plug-in that sits on top of the articles, people can use the skin to rate sentences one by one. True, False, half-truth, unverifiable, etc..  the aggregated input is then calculated, and the plug-in will display the community consensus on the quality of the article.  You can look up authors past scores. You can see the score for a single sentence.  Contributors would get compensated by revenue generated by ads the plug-in presents while editing, maybe some contributors input is worth more than others.  If only there were some mechanism or system out there to handle the micropayments for people doing the work.. hmmm.....if only....

Wow, great idea!

Why don't we create a digital currency... based on cryptography... without anyone controlling it... we could call it: 'bytecoin'.    Shocked

That was exactly my thinking when I was reading things about bitcoin on some local known journals.

And that they just printed more to cover their losses.

one year ago the price was at 36$. 64Mio$ are missing. 64 000 000/36 = 1.175Mio.

The mentally challenged media in the states keep saying ' bankruptcy' .  They should stick to reporting dog shows and celebrity gossip.

Irresponsible journalism at it's finest complete hacks. The term Due Diligence escapes them.

I never thought my life could be. Anything but catastrophe. But suddenly I begin to see. A "BIT" of good luck for me. Cause I've got a golden ticket!

CNN was a victim of the known sentence malleability bug.
