When did I ever say "Universal is going neutral soon"?

I guess you can't stop at one lie so you have to start another.

Microsoft, Viacom Ink $500 Mil Ad Deal
December 19, 2007: 08:05 PM EST

Dec. 20, 2007 (Investor's Business Daily delivered by Newstex) --

Microsoft, a perennial also-ran to Google in online video, is flexing its financial muscle in a 5-year, $500 million advertising deal with media heavyweight Viacom.

This perfectly corroborates the initial reports of MS giving huge advertising dollars to Viacom in exchange for Paramount going HD DVD exclusive.

This sure sounds like a rumor:

Paranoid much?
