Isn't That Really Lazy?

On Sunday, FTVLive showed you two identical tweets sent out by two different Milwaukee stations that are owned by different companies.

One tweet is from WISN which is owned by Hearst and the other tweet is from WITI which is owned by Nexstar.

In our story, we asked how does that happen?

Well, a lot of you emailed FTVLive and said that both stations are CNN affiliates and this was a story sent down by CNN. Both stations appeared to post the story verbatim as CNN sent it down. Both used the same words that CNN sent and both used the same blurry photo.

I have to ask, do stations hired people with actual brains to post to their social media, or do they just copy and paste?
