Henry, what did you think of this part of what Cathy Tamraz had to say?

>>>>> Business Wire is concerned over a ''surge'' in releases by a
new type of customer that does not come from the ranks of the
biggest companies, Tamraz says. People and companies announcing
such things as opinions on stocks are making up an increasing
amount of Business Wire's business, she says, putting more
pressure on the company to be careful about what it publishes.<<<

Did she mean they are going after that sort of bu*iness or did she mean they are going to be responsible for everything they publish or what?

Unfortunately the end quote mark had already appeared and the reporter was merely paraphrasing at that point. Maybe they could subpoena his notes during discovery to see what the actual quote from her was.

Unless of course she wants to sue Bloomberg...
