The 9:55 was a reported-out update with a lot more info than the P-I. Generally, the Times kicks the P-I's butt with Web updates.

I don't suppose the State Department will be doing any saber-rattling on Harris's behalf. Not like he was an oil executive or something.

"Suicide." You've gotta be fucking kidding me.

I guess that's South American justice for you.

This stinks to high heaven. This poor guy got rolled up in some dirty business and it's not going to become an international incident why?

Fuck an oil tycoon. If he were a 14 year old blond girl Nancy Grace would be going all post partum on Brazil's ass right now.

This seems conspicuously overlooked in National media.

I cannot believe it is being reported as such without serious speculatiuon that that story is total BS. I have no faith that there is any serious diligence on the part of the state department to find out what really happened to him.

The Stranger likes to puff up the PI whenever they get a chance. I guess it's that underdog thing. Look it up: Your little underdog is owned by a faceless media conglomerate based in NYC who couldn't give a shit about a jerkwater town like Seattle and can't wait to pull the plug on it's money-sucking PI.


Why, it's like comparing the Weekly to the Stranger, isn't it?
