I'll answer a one instead:
1. No. If you remember Pappy had at least one, if not more, listener events at Pappyland. I believe he had an NCAA tournament watching event in the bar in his basement. Should he be expected to know the private dealing of each of these people both at the time they came to the party and into the future?
Wow, you and JohnKirk should get a room. NO ONE NEEDED TO DO MORE HOMEWORK ON HERNANDEZ than NORTH. No one. Yes, Reinsdorf isn't too smart to allow his marketing people to take dirty money from North/Hernandez, Comcast is pretty stupid to not look into the "big" sponsor for their really "unique" and "cutting edge" new morning show, and yes Spaceball or Jesse should have done more research other than "Hey, Northy, this guy is cool?" ALL THAT SAID, this venture was North's baby ... he was a "partner" ... there is no rationalizing his laziness/stupidity by simply saying "hey, no one else looked into this dude!!!" North knew this guy - he did his mortgage with him, as did Shaer ... this wasn't some random listener from Downers Grove that happened into Pappyland 15 years ago, and that's it.
And, JohnKirk, give up your fight here ... you're on an island here and Pappy's Crappy wouldn't piss on you if were on fire, pal.
