The New York Times reported that a few hours after the death of Whitney Houston, iTunes doubled the price of her Greatest Hits Album and another "Ultimate" album.
But there apparently wasn't enough time for people to get really indignant about it, and justifiably so.
Sony later said the price hike was a mistake, and they apologized for anyone who took offense.
Here's the story.
Free Press editors choose the Iran threat story for page one for Wednesday as things seem to be getting more serious and worrisome about hostilities between Iran and Israel and the rest of the world.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta was sort of quoted by Washington Post columnist David Ignatius earlier saying he thought Israel would attack Iran because of Iran's continuing nuclear threat.
The defense secretary backed off that statement when other journalists and other members of Congress questioned him, but when pressed, said "we talked" and "talked about a lot of things, frankly."
He said he was not using Ignatius to send a signal to the world.
Interesting. Here's the Politico story on it.
