scottrade, ameritrade, etc,etc. all just republish Market Wire.
AFAI can tell, Market Wire will publish ANY story sent to them.
I imagine they are paid by the word.
Google alerts even sends me announcements of ever 4th or fifth post on this board.
This is the internet age and publication is VERY cheap.
These news services are NOT the new york times, or the wall street journal or Barrons HELL, THEY ARE NOT EVEN AS DISCRIMINATING AS THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER OR THE WEAKLY WORLD NEWS!
