I don’t care if it is Friday, this announcement will get some attention.
That old notion of 'Release bad news on a Friday' started dying the moment that Internet-based news was born: Drudge could have his "OBAMACARE UNRAVELS" headline up all weekend long. Friday dumps can no longer be ignored.
Yet another reason that the old guard traditional newspaper outfits hate the Internet. They can't control the flow of information like they could in the old days.
