I'm not terribly upset but I do expect a full apology from Bleacher Report, preferably in slideshow format.
If anyone should be upset it's the Mets. At least when I make stuff up about them, I have the decency to say that it's not real.

Bleacher Report Rips Off The Apple, Calls It News

Randy,
ReplyDeleteOn behalf of the Bleacher Report team, I want to apologize for the lapse in judgment displayed by a member of our writer base. Not only did the writer fail to attribute his source (a form of plagiarism), he also failed to recognize the satirical nature of your post. The offending piece has been removed from our site, and we're addressing the matter with the writer internally.
Coincidentally, a mailing went out to all active B/R writers this morning outlining strict guidelines for sourcing content. It's a shame it wasn't sent in time to prevent this incident.
You're welcome to contact me directly with any questions.
Regards,
Dan Bonato
