I agree. This kind of media distortion is not a good thing for our industry. As you point out, the story is good enough, compelling to readers and more credible without the kind of media hype we are seeing. I am thankful for the kind of truth-telling you do on a regular basis. Thank you. Great article Andrew. I agree. This kind of media distortion is not a good thing for our industry.

The original price didn't stick, and it sold for a lot less. Still a lot, but less than what's reported. @ Jamie – I’ve seen the pizza.com one many times, too.

First he called it a domain name, then a web site and even stuck in Pizza.com to give an idea of price.. but they used the pizza sale that has a "reported price". Why not use one of the many that are confirmed prices if you are going to use it to compare something. I wrote about that the other day as well Andrew after I read the CNN article.
