Forbes in Shame

The recent false report by Forbes that Cuban President Fidel Castro has 900 million dollars is a shocking low point for that publication. Obviously the editors at Forbes believed they could publish this lie without any repercussions. Perhaps they did not think the Cuban President would care. However, the Cuban leader was outraged and challenged Forbes to produce evidence, stating quite unequivocally that he would resign if such evidence was forthcoming. Forbes response to this was to say that their report was "more art than science." In other words, we just made it up. Someone should be fired.
