Miami Herald Deathwatch (cont.)

Last Wednesday I wrote about the Miami Herald's sleazy and borderline unethical practice of copying and pasting stories from CBS4's website where stories can be read for free; and re-posting them on the Herald's website which is not free..

Well, they're continuing the practice. They're just hoping you won't notice.

  1. It's ironic that for years the television and radio stations ripped off the Herald's reporting and now the tables have turned!

  2. It's not very subtle, is it?
