ain't CNN.

No mention of ANN.

A lot of what I've seen in the press is excerpted from the video
coverage of the event. DEEPBLU Studios is credited with the video
content. I watched it real-time on a satellite feed. At a point just
after landing, I saw a person with a TV camera escorted away. (Know
anything about that?)

Good up-to-the minute coverage was provided by these sites:

http://www.space.com

CNN's website has an article written by Michael Coren of CNN. No
mention of ANN. The photos were credited to the Dexter and Southfield
Schools, CNN, and Scaled Composites.

The content of the stories on the ABCNEWS and FOXNEWS websites is
credited to Associated Press. Again, no ANN.

The content on MSNBC's website is provided by their own Science
Editor, Alan Boyle.

So, what's all this about exclusivity? What value was added by ANN?

Exclusivity is Zoomspeak for "They didn't throw his ass out".
