And giving the information to the media vs the established channels (or
even their own web site) is an acceptable alternative who WHAT reason?

To NetSOL, it is acceptable because they know that the vast majority of the
media are clueless and will thus take whatever is given them as scripture.
To those of us who depend (for now) on NetSOL actually doing their job and
earning our $35/yr per domain, it is outright unacceptable.

I am not saying that NetSOL is the ONLY provider of services critical to
operations who is falling down on the job but they DO own the patent on the
process of screwing up and then lieing about it, getting caught and still
getting away with it.  (They just license it to the politicians.)
