 * Is its possible to hide the author name at instant articles?
 * I tried by removing the author lines in feed-template.php or by transformer rule:
 *     ```
       {
         "rules":
         [
           {
             "class": "IgnoreRule",
             "selector": "span.author"
           }
         ]
       }
       ```
   
 * but it is not working. Has any body found a way to hide the author name or to
   write a default text as author name.

       function tk_instant_articles_authors( $authors, $post_id) {
       	$authors = array();
           return $authors;
       }
       add_filter('instant_articles_authors', 'tk_instant_articles_authors', 10, 2);
       ```
