Ironically David Sarnoff founder of RCA(originalparent company of NBC and MSNBC)performed a similar sleight of hand by "inventing" television ,conveniently bypassing Philo Farnsworth. This stuff happens all the time. It's the "investor" rather than the inventor that sells the product which is what it's all about anyway Most inventors forget that the invention(even when patented) is of no profit to them without the means of sales and distribution and fail to prepare adequately for this.
