I thought you might find it interesting because it talks about

Every story came out at the same time and cited "sources" or "people familiar with the matter," but barely had any other details. This is typical of story planted by PR.

PRs will tell every reporter on the street "hey I got a tip for you but don't publish until Wednesday after market." And every reporter thinks they have an exclusive and types up the article. And then PR gets the most bang for the buck as every outlet publishes the same bullshit at the same time.

I wonder why it was removed though. Maybe should double check it seems legit.

EDIT: He did seem to know a lot of internal stuff when asked.
