Pretty much. Not only is this released on a Saturday; when NO ONE WORKS. But late on a Saturday night on Memorial Day weekend. NO ONE is online right now. And they released this news at the exact moment that the Chicago Blackhawks win a Stanley Cup playoff game. So this press release goes out at the absolute perfect moment for the national media being off the clock; and the local Chicago media being occupied with something else.
Pretty crafty ND!
