It's removed from their Facebook page as well. It was on there even after the article had initially been removed.

DMN and Channel 8 are no longer connected, channel 8 owned by Gannett. USA Today. DMN has a working partnership with NBC Channel 5.

Definitely gone from WFAA.com. The amusing thing is just about all of the other versions of a story are just reporting that WFAA reported it. And now WFAA doesn't appear to be reporting it.

A non-story that is getting less compelling by the minute.

Hmm... I see that. Perhaps I overlooked it. My bad.

Though it's still a little too strong in its implication that Ulric had anything to do with the grade change, this version of the story seems fairer to us and less likely to be an ongoing issue.

Willing to bet that this is the story he would have preferred to run last night. A bit more objective.

Shipp shot himself in the foot by going to that press conference. Once word of that got out they probably rushed it to air.

Well, actually, the old article remains missing:

http://www.wfaa.com/news/investigates/i ... 49731.html

The new one seems different in tenor; focused more on DISD than SMU. Also contains SMU's press release denying wrongdoing.
