It appears the journal posted and the magazine went into action after that. They have less images than the journal's report. I haven't heard the explanation yet of how this was announced, or why I didn't receive the press release, so I'm not going to jump to conclusions right now. We've already seen you lied about the magazine breaking the story; it was the Biz Journal. <br /><br />3:40: Very simple - a press release is dropped into the lap, whereas only Grapeseed patrons were alerted of the closure announcement, making it a scoop.<br /><br />I'm definitely "taken seriously" - you wouldn't be getting paid to troll here around the clock by the MoCo cartel if I wasn't.Robert Dyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01975969463714952623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-5002075022364643152017-07-13T03:40:39.054-07:002017-07-13T03:40:39.054-07:00Robert, you need to come to reality and realize th...Robert, you need to come to reality and realize there's a reason (or two and they are rather simple) as to why you didn't get the story/press release:<br /><br />1. You aren't liked. Probably despised and therefore weren't even given the courtesy of getting a copy.<br /><br />2. You aren't taken seriously.<br /><br />Robert, how is it that you can call Grapeseed a scoop because you copied and pasted an email, yet someone using a press release on a huge event isn't a scoop?
