This alone is going to make it very interesting. It my indicate that they have indeed been lax in their mission as stated in the complaint. Possibly deserving of the notoriety caused by the event. 13. Given the nature of its business, which is to distribute other entities' 3 press releases to the news media and others, Business Wire does not independently verify the 4 facts set forth in every press release it distributes. However, Business Wire does act to ensure 5 that the information it provides is accurate bY requiring, as a condition of distributing any 6 press release over its wire service and on its website, that the person or entity submitting the 7 press release warrant that the factual content in the materials submitted for distribution by 8 Business Wire is true and accurate. 9 Defendants' Misconduct I believe I know where to start looking for interesting information. It is a shame that BW decided to take such an action. Very ill advised. I can only imagine what dark thoughts had (somehow) entered their minds. TG
