Is anyone here really concerned by Fox News actions? From the beginning
it seemed to me that what they were barking about were of no impact:
they would confirm the WMF's opponents in their opinions and obtain an
indifferent or amused shrug from the rest of the world. Am I wrong?
Should we really panic as the Board and Mr. Wales did? (ok, not panic,
but feel the gravity and urgency of the situation?)
