    The disconnect between mainstream media and web reportage

    Mainstream media promotes the idea that Palfrey hanged herself, the web points out that she pointedly stated that if "anything happened to her" it would not be suicide.

    Why is Salon falling in line with the mainstream media? Where is Ms. Palfrey's box of evidence? Missing, right?

    Move along, citizen, nothing to see here... business as usual...
