so what does this mean for us Chris????? how are we going to handle this and of course we know this is all about controling the media, i see this as prep for the ac....

That means we need to seriously cut back on the amount of copy and paste. and watch any thing you wanna quote from them. We'll follow this story and see where it leads. But we as the team need to lead by example. Me included & most of all. CM

i added to my above post

Summarize article and leave link. Also watch about the title of article, reword it in you own words. I think it's ridiculous and once again there is a bigger picture to be seen. Thankfully we are a board full of intelligent people, everyone one of us the team to the members of the board, we can make do.

I wouldn't change anything unless it was AP for principle purposes. If it is AP I would just leave the link and in the Title best describe the article in your own words.

Agree with Snowflake everyone else as far as press just stick to the first paragraph or two as long as it's not long. CM
