It seems like every time SCO releases a new story, their claims get more and more fantastic. I don't understand why anyone is still listening to them.

Because SCO exec's wear suits, sound confident and are persuasive. That's all for today's journalists to buy the nonsense. Checking the facts and asking difficult question is not in their system. Headlines must be produced, columns must be filled.

Stock market analysts may have additional reasons to fall for SCO. Firstly it is in their system to rely on business oriented sources of information (SCO executives). Secondly they see SCO stock on the rise, they sense $$$ so they want to believe SCO.
