The News Is
In Spokane, the news is that "these people bought their diplomas rather than earning them." Outside Spokane, the news is apparently "the newspaper in Spokane published these names evn though the U.S. Department of Justice refused to release the names."
A newspaper has published the names of nearly 10,000 people it says bought bogus college degrees from a Spokane diploma mill.
The names include people working in military, government and education fields.
The list, which the U.S. Department of Justice had refused to release to the public, was posted Monday on The Spokesman-Review's Web site.

Of course I go for the absolutely smallest semantic detail from the story and chuckle... "ha, look, the Seattle Times doesn't even think we're worth a journalists loaf of bread... they reblogged an AP Story and went back to bed."
I think I need to get me something more interesting to read. Any suggestions?
