March 05, 2004Media SpinInteresting media spin going on right now.MARTHA STEWART CONVINCTED ON ALL COUNTS, the headlines are blaring across the world. But, it's not all counts.

"The eight women and four men found Stewart guilty of one count of conspiracy, two counts of making false statements, and one count of obstruction of agency proceedings in her trial over a suspicious sale of stock in ImClone Systems Inc., according to Reuters.
