In all seriousness, the coverage is from the content of the story plus a well written press release. You really need both to get the coverage. The secret with news coverage is this; reporting staff have been reduced or eliminated, so you have to deliver the story to the media with a well written news release and pictures that can be used by the media.

I've quoted the press release below as well...

I honestly don't know whether to laugh or cry about this. It's pretty sad that negative media is the only thing that sells; it's hilatiously awesome that you spun it for PR.
