Grousegirl, While I believe this is what was explained to you, This is BS. "he told me that most of the larger news outlets have "filters" that must be met before they will "acknowledge" you as a viable source." I hear all kinds of stories on these channels that are from no named start up companies. Also we are connected in these articles to a company by the name of ABBOTT. They should be able to clear this "Filter" I would think.
