Re: Microsoft censors Newsweek - and new version of TCPA FAQ

2002-07-17 Thread Declan McCullagh

Removing the article after a few weeks is consistent with MSNBC.com's
long-standing article expiration policy. Some articles stay around for
years, while others disappear within a month. MSNBC.com reporters have
told me there's no logic to this -- and that they're personally
frustrated too.

Anyway I wouldn't read too much into the link no longer working (not
saying that Ross is, but others may).

I just tried posting a comment and got this:
HTTP Error 404

404 Not Found

The Web server cannot find the file or script you asked for. Please check
the URL to ensure that the path is correct.

Please contact the server's administrator if this problem persists.

Anybody know who their server admin might be?  I'll send something to
their public affairs e-mail since that's all I can find for now.  But if
anyone else gets thru let me know, and I'll try again.

Ross said MSNBC had pulled the Palladium story, not Newsweek. 
Other Levy stories remain available on MSNBC. A search on
MSNBC for Palladium produces Steven Levy's chat about
Palladium:

Still, it may policy for MSNBC to pull Newsweek stories after a few
days that don't contribute to the MS shine.

Further still, shine thine eyes on this line-up of TCPA wiseguys:
