Online News Stories that Change Behind Your Back
 Posted by Roblimo on Thursday May 09, @10:10AMfrom the who-controls-the-present-controls-the-past dept. Major news Web sites routinely rewrite stories after they are published, sometimes so heavily that they only bear a glancing resemblance what was posted earlier. This CNN/Money article about the penalty phase of the Microsoft trial is a prime example. What you see at the other end of the link is quite different from the story that first appeared at that URL. Even the headline and byline have changed. But CNN/Money managing editor Allen Wastler says there is nothing wrong with this practice, even though there is no indication on the site that the article was heavily modified after it first appeared.
