Nobody cares what a head scout (Button did NOT say it) or what an AGM have to say (Weisbrod said it - and yep, should get criticized for it as well), but what the GM says becomes the news. This is something you tell the prospect privately, not proclaim to the media.

I got to say, by comparison Treliving comes across as a real pro in dealing with the media.
