I study Media Relations at Uni, and yes telling everyone about this WOULD be bad for ALL online poker.
It is like when oil spills in the ocean, average Joe thinks all oil companies are bad not just the cheap one that couldn't be bothered with proper safety precautions.
Online Poker is in such a delicate potion at the moment that a situation like this MUST be contained. For all involved. Tough AP should be accountable for the losses incurred to players, the players involved should weigh the damages against their potential earnings over the next few years.
Obviously my reccomendation as your (2+2) media consultant is to leave AP. If there is going to be some kind of extensive report written that will actually be understandable to an non poekr player then send it. Not to the Media but to AP.
If that fails to grap their attention, then threaten to make the situation public. However before doing so I would advise to seriously clean and monitor the content so as to avoid slandering other poker sites in any way. In fact I would try to reference their fairness.
Also In my opinion this topic has probably already recieved too much attention, and should probably be either retitled or locked.
