I must say I couldn't see why you got so upset with the reporter for not reading the last sentence. When looking at the situation you were referring to (which, if true, is not too ethical, I agree) and comparing it to your sentence ("high-up corruption") I get a feeling you exaggerated and blew this completely out of proportion. She might have actually spared you embarrassment and gave your fax more credibility than it would have gotten with the pompous finale at the end. But I guess it's a matter of taste.
