@SlimJim,

Press releases are not usually reported verbatim as news....

Sometimes a reporter will do an interview as news, but its that news site, that owns the interview, not another.  If something truly news worthy comes out of that interview, than any network or news source would carry that bit of news...but not the whole interview.  The whole interview would still belong to the source that generated it.

All of this is common knowledge.

The more important point to address is the idea that Wayne's ownership implies that the rules serve Wayne.  Wrong...the rules serve the community.

We don't want press releases being reported as news, because we'd rather have only verified facts to be reported as news, in light of history, were press released were reported as news from various sources, from Merlancia, Amiga, Inc., Phase 5, Amiga, Inc., and oh yes...lest I forget, even our favorite company Amiga, Inc.

we have gotten burned many times by believing press releases, and its the community, not Wayne, demanding some quality standards about what is reported as news.
