Will is hardly a "media monopoly" representive, or someone who spits out "ADS as news." If his longtime reading of the cypherpunks mailing list wasn't a good enough clue, you may remember that Will broke the Clipper III story earlier this year.

To which this card-carrying member of the media replies:
Companies cited in the PRESS RELEASE - that means public relations product, not journalism product - were involved in signing off on what went into the release. By definition, no member of the press was involved in producing this document
It seems directing questions to the companies would be a good idea.
