Breaking News: The Patriot Ledger Broke the Green Death Story!

green

 

Okay I know I'm beating a dead horse with this, but I had like 10 emails waiting for me when I got home from trivia about how the Patriot Ledger is getting credit for breaking the Green Death story. And lo and behold they are. Listen it's one thing when nobody gets credit, but it's quite another when somebody else starts taking credit for something we did. I know it shouldn't bother me, but it kind of does. So I just shot this email off to their editors. Not that anybody cares, but I'll let you know if they have the balls to respond. At the very least they should sell my tshirts on their website.

Email to the Patriot Ledger

Just curious on what your credit policy is?  I'm referring to the Green Death Soccer article which I notice a lot of web sites are mysteriously crediting the Patriot Ledger for finding as well as for posting the actual emails from the coach..   It kind of struck me as odd since Barstool Sports obviously  broke that story last week and the Patriot Ledger has clearly ripped the emails right from our site with no credit at all.     How do I know it's from our site?  Because I personally altered the letter to protect the names and you've reprinted my changes.    Listen the Internet is wide open and I'm sure we've done stuff by accident before, but I'm not sure how you could take an email that was sent to us and act like you found it or not say where you got it from.   I'm not really pissed I'm just trying to figure out how this stuff works.  
 
Thanks in advance for the explanation....
