Sprint PR Firm Snubs Online Media, Rescinds CES Invites
A funny thing happened at Sprint’s CES invite-only event tonight. Online media after online media were conveniently left off the list… after receiving personal invitations. It’s pretty clear what happened here. Dan Hesse was there, and someone realized that online journalists and bloggers would ask tough questions. PhoneNews.com has lost count of the number of [...]
