Sheldon is talking good sense, Sarah and Ray are not. The press will print bad-news
stories about WP, but that's because such stories are _news_. As David Gerard has just

A rule in journalism is that there comes a point when the story has to
change; when what was good is made bad, and vice versa. The story
always has to change.
