Folks,
Attached is a compilation of mainstream print/online and TV/radio news reports on Friday's announcement of the
establishment of the UAPTF. There were multiple tv/radio mentions in several markets nationwide on the 14th/15th.
The CBNC clip is representative of most segments, but our Media Analysis Team also included links to the major ABC and
FOX hits.
Regards,
