| Why do press releases make it into the "news"? | carol_e | 7/7/12 8:57 AM | In my Seattle news feed, press releases reprinted by legitimate sources (Seattle Times, PI, etc) make it into the news over actual stories. Why would this happen? Surely there are real things happening besides corporate self-congratulation? |

Cheers, Erik |

| Re: Why do press releases make it into the "news"? | carol_e | 7/18/12 4:43 PM | I adjusted my settings to include NO press releases and NO content from Seattle PI who reposts press release, and I now have even more of those in my feed than before. The settings do not work. Why bother to pretend they do anything? |
