The Post cited Bethesda Magazine for reporting that actually was exclusive to my site, then cited the specific $7 million amount that was ONLY reported by me.<br /><br />Apparently, with all of their financial resources, they had no sources inside the negotiations.

In fact, this website is the only one that was on top of the (potential) real estate deal of the century throughout the negotiations. Many others, including the Washington Post, were reduced to having to plagiarize, react, and follow up on my blow-by-blow reports on the inside baseball. That's what happens when you have real sources, not just a Marriott or Bernstein press release. There was an agreement, but it was irrelevant ultimately as Woodmont Grill declined to sell. That's why people turn to my site for the inside scoop.
