It is good to see the reporter refused to go along with the PR people from Theranos. But I am surprised they did not still report on the experience and point out that no-one could be found having the pin prick test and that the PR people acting suspiciously. Surely that is a story in itself?

I don’t know the exact circumstances but lack of any real info, apparently suspicious behavior, etc. may trigger spidey senses but (properly) don’t usually trigger a story in a major pub. Unfortunately that can lead to situations where lots of people are pretty sure that something isn’t quite right without triggering an article. But it’s mostly the way news should operate.
