    I am so pissed about this. A room full of journalists? Just yell, “Hey, anybody read any good books lately?” and start writing shit down!

    Update: it was a syndicated piece from a freelancer. CST pledges greater transparency when it comes to local reporting (their focus) vs. syndication

        In my opinion, that’s not as bad as this. I assume that was an accident. This was on purpose, and would take a miniscule amount of effort to varify.
