Here is a copy of the email I sent to the Sun Times and TV Stations. <br />----------------------------<br />1.  When you check the <a href=\"http://www.google.com/trends?q=sex&ctab=1&geo=US&date=2005\" rel=\"nofollow\"><a href=\"http://www.google.com/trends?q=sex&ctab=1&geo=US&date=2005...\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://www.google.com/trends?q=sex&ctab=1&geo=US&date=2005...</a></a>  (and click on tab that says Cities) it shows Elmhurst United States.  </p><p> 2.  According to mapquest, there are at least 10 Elmhursts in the US.   <a href=\"http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?formtype=address&country=US&popflag=0&latitude=&longitude=&name=&phone=&level=&addtohistory=&cat=&address=&city=elmhurst&state=&zipcode=\" rel=\"nofollow\"><a href=\"http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?formtype=address&coun...\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?formtype=address&coun...</a></a></p><p>3.  Of the 10 listed on mapquest, it is interesting to note that  Elmhurst, NY is in Queens and is also home to Rikers Island Prision and LaGuardia Airport among other things.  The IP hub there is HUGE.</p><p> I checked and the first reference I found to this search results and Elmhurst, IL was on a blog (which posted on May 11 and had \"Elmhurst, IL ? \"  (Note the question mark).   <a href=\"http://blogs.zdnet.com/ip-telephony/?p=1088)\" rel=\"nofollow\"><a href=\"http://blogs.zdnet.com/ip-telephony/?p=1088)\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://blogs.zdnet.com/ip-telephony/?p=1088)</a></a>  Only on other blogs that referenced the first blog could I find Elmhurst, ILLINOIS.</p><p>Per their written disclaimers on what is clearly identified as a BETA site, and my experience of repeated attempted requests to Google regarding clarification on this issue, which true to their disclaimer, they will not address.  The 45 thousand residents of Elmhurst, Illinois want to know what FACTS you can offer  to back up your story that these searches are credited to us- or was the story just in the Sun-Times, and you did a cursory check then ran with it?</p><p>  If you have any understanding of how these stats are compiled, or had bothered to read the fine print on that site where they explain IP collections and reporting  I seriously doubt that this story would have made it out of the gate. <br />-----------------------------------------<br />Chanels 2 & 7 removed it as the lead story on their websites, 5 waited till Sat. afternoon.  Since then, the story has also been replicated in San Fancisco where the headline was \"Elmhurst, IL loves gay porn\" and was picked up by UPI.  Yet, not a single reply from any of the reporters who \"broke\" the story.  This is Dewey beats Truman.  The reporters who have called me seem to think the bigger story here is what are the reporting practices in place that could allow so many news outlets in Chicago to repeat each other's mistakes.  Also, since then a lot about the data has come out.
