I think this is very possible.

Stories from the Summit include: Secret Service parties with hookers, agents sent home; Hillary Clinton goes out dancing, drinks beers out of bottle, no glass, complete with full photo spread; President Obama meets Shakira. I think they are trying to drown out news coverage of the Summit with these sexier stories because US Latin American policies are so unpopular.
