You are absolutely correct that the back-&-forth is a non story and hence we have already moved on to do our jobs. Comments were used to clarify and state our side of situation. Of course, grousing in public is never a good idea.

Thanks for sharing your sentiments.

If a reporter is unique and adds value I’d appreciate his or her take at any time.

Don’t be lame and offer lame and improbable excuses about something like this. Pathetic really.

They never told us it was an embargo. You should feel deeply ashamed for how inane your comment is.

The tail is wagging the dog.

But seriously, who cares?! I mean who other than PR people cares?!

Pretty ridiculous to claim Kern is trying to destroy a start-up.
