There was way too many internet media explosions on Monday, and again today, to filter all media sources for criticality. In fact, just the amount of press is enough evidence that this is big news. It's no less than astounding imho. So, here's a list of just how the world responded to the ME/CFS XMRV/MLV paper that was published Tuesday, August 24, 2010, confirming and even extending the results of the Mikovits/Lombardi paper, that there is a high (and they found higher.. 85% with 6.8% of healthy controls) association of XMRV/MLV's to ME/CFS.
It will be updated as more Advocate and other Media organizations react.

New Scientist ... and omg, how can Bill Switzer say the following with a straight face?
"Bill Switzer of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who headed one of the four studies, says that a recent quality-control trial has ruled out differences in the testing procedures as a possible explanation. Several labs, including Lo's, all received identical samples to test. "All the labs had the same results, so it's not the assays," says Switzer."
