Ys, but the magazine must takes responsibility for printing them. I
wonde how this would stand up legally? I mean, if a tabloid newspaper
prined a story that had Prine Charles caught in a sexual abandon with
a flock of geees, but then printed above it in tiny lettering "we
don't know if this is true or not", would they find themselves sue to
high heaven?I hope so.
