sKALLY, I had the SAME problem! GRRRR!
I sent it three times, starting on Sunday the 11th......the first time they refused it because the link to the article needed a password to access......so I sent the link from the Seattle paper--same article--it never got printed.......so on Tuesday I sent the Seattle link AND a printout AND the fact (all three times) politely mentioning that these pedophiles are still encouraged to preach from door-to-door, where they talk to anyone who opens the door.
I added that as a Mom, I thought it was important that everyone be alerted to this.
Still zip.
It really is beginning to tick me off, cuz I went through this same rigamarole when a young man who was molested by a local priest, was interviewed in silhouette on our ABC channel...and I emailed a lot of pertinent info about Silentlambs, Dateline, etc....TWICE in a two-week period, to the lady that did the interview...

I emailed the same info (BBC, Dateline, etc) to all the other channels that HAVE email addies set up to TAKE newsworthy items....
Yup----zip
They don't seem to give a flip about it unless it's about the Catholic Church, and I even asked why they refused to consider what I sent, when it was the same problem-different religion!!
I said it nicely.
zip
sigh....
