I was surprised to get this message regarding my recent press release, from the site admins:

Press releases that mention media outlets (example: NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, Hearst, Gannett, Tribune, etc) may be blocked by some of the news partner networks we work with since you are mentioning their competitors.

I had referenced some previous coverage that I got in the about section, but apparently that is verboten. This seems messed up to me, but then so does much of modern media…
