Swiping The News

/

Why bother taking the time to report the news, when you can just swipe it from the other guys?

Cox’s Boston 25’s Manager of Coverage and Content Peter Wilson made this post to social media:

While Wilson claims that Boston 25’s Bob Ward broke the story, others are saying that was not the case.

Tim Sullivan, who a number of people say broke the news a day before weighed in on Wilson’s post as well:

Others are ready to cut the station off:

As someone that gets their scoops and content swiped very often, I can say this is a bush league move. Give credit where credit is due.
