I happened to notice this just now. Forgive me if it is old news, but if you have not seen it, perhaps you might wish to forward it to your attorney. Currently, the following press release is available to be viewed: go2net.newsalert.com This is interesting, due to the fact that it contains a lie about a contract. This company claims to have a contractual agreement with Disney, when in fact that is a lie. They do not have a contractual agreement with Disney. How can I make such a bold statement? go2net.newsalert.com I believe these two press releases illustrate the toughness, the moral fortitude, the almost unimaginable strength of Business Wire to make sure its customers receive the kind of service they deserve, don't you? I mean, someone with a jaundiced view might think that this BB piece of crap invented that story in the first place. They might think that the second press release, which spams DIS like the first one, could have been avoided by simply removing the first one. They might think that the first press release, the one with the lie in it, might have been pulled by Business Wire due to the fact that it could imply that Business Wire lets false information go through them and refuses to do anything about it even when the issuing company publicly admits they lied, and gives Business Wire more money for a new press release to help them publicly admit it! And Business Wire says that the Pairgain thing had them concerned. Yeah, right. This kinda blows their "concerned about the public" argument, eh? What a bunch of immoral jackasses. LOL!
