We (ATS) are a source for news...

Sitting here over morning coffee, my wife and I were floored to see something amazing... NY1 is the New York City equivalent to CNN (and is owned by CNN's parent company)... www.ny1.com... , and runs NYC-related and national news for 24 hours on Time Warner cable. As the camera scanned the news room leading to a commercial break, we saw someone obviously reading ATS! And when they came back from commercial break, we could see the same person about 15 feet behind the anchor person, still on ATS, browsing back-and-forth from the forum home, through several threads, and taking notes on a note pad, for about 2 minutes while the anchor was read the news! This is because of the high quality of our members and the posts you're making. Keep up the good work!

ACK!!!! They found us!!! QUICK! HEAD FOR THE HILLS!!!

(just messing with you, folks. I think it's funny, and it IS a tribute to some of the good research work here.)

Thats a nice christmas present for you hehe, but i honestly feel its well deserved

Your positive right? Why didn't you record it?! I thought you of all people would have a tape in the vcr or dvd writer!

Is there a way to check their sources, could we request an interview?

Well... we have one of those pain-in-the-a$$ home theater arrangements (with DVD recorder) that actually takes some freakin planning to record anything. -sigh- I've sent an e-mail to the weekend editor, and also to someone I know who works there (camera man). We'll see if anything comes of it.

Not for me! For all our members!

William,

Thank you for sharing this with us! That is just the coolest thing in the world. And I agree with you it's because there is just a wealth of quality investigators living right here amongst us! When I think about the things I learn here it just overwhelms me. Sure, everything I read here has to be checked, but the same should be true for absolutely anything read in mainstream media...and I don't think people do that enough.

That is why, when I get up in the morning, the first place I go is here for my news. THEN, I start checking out the "other" sources...lol!

I want to offer my thanks to Simon for this wonderful place, and letting me be a member. And I want to tell you how much I appreciate you and the fact you put up with me. Your efforts as an admin - the wonderful improvements you're constantly making, and the paternal approach you take to the board structure - is at the top of the list of why this place is what it is.

Thank you ATS members for being so great!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Thats really cool. Unless people start ripping off our ideas and post and turn them into their own stories but hopefully that wont happen. HORAY FOR ATS!
