New York Post's Jared Paul Stern: "We know how to destroy people, it's what we do. We do it without creating liability. That's our specialty."
Yes sir! The media can make you or break you. And some greedy and malicious reporters are in a powerful position to destroy your life. They know pretty well, you are hopeless, because you cannot sue them, for they are protected by the 1st Amendment; The Freedom of Speech, that is! What the New York Post's Jared Paul Stern allegedly said, according to The New York Times: "We know how to destroy people, it's what we do. We do it without creating liability. That's our specialty." echoes this alarming tragedy...and threat, IF it is true. If Mr. Stern's statement turned out to be true, then, and only then, Mr. Stern is a troubled man with an attitude.

EBay buyer of Bridgeville puts the California town back on auction blockThe tiny town of Bridgeville is up for sale again on EBay, complete with its dozen houses, cafe and post office. Two years after Bill Krall bought the entire northern California town for $700,000 on the Internet auction site, he's flipping it. Minimum bid this time: $1.75 million. Krall, a Southern California financial adviser, said personal family commitments prevented him from ever moving to the town about 48 kilometres from the Pacific Ocean, according to his EBay listing. He said he "spent a lot of money and a lot of effort" cleaning up the 33 hectares among the redwoods northwest of San Francisco. The town was once a hub for a local stagecoach route and a stop on the historical Pony Express mail service. A fire station and a school for elementary students are nearby. Krall said he has received e-mails and phone calls from as far away as China and Germany inquiring about the sale. "The world has a fascination with being able to buy a town," Krall said. "You can come in and name it after yourself if you want and be the mayor, chief of police and secretary of interior all at the same time." The auction, which started Tuesday, ends May 4. As of midday Thursday, there had been no bids.
