Bklink: A Little Ripped Off?

October 14th, 2008 · No Comments

link-asterisk.jpgThe New York Post ran a story yesterday that had been broken by our friend Miss Heather at New York Shitty a week earlier, of course, in true Post fashion (and following the bad habit of some other reporters who might be said to be lacking in professional ethics in the Intellectual Theft Department) providing no credit whatsoever to the blog that did the original reporting. Here’s what Miss Heather has to say, and we believe she’s being overly polite about it: “After writing about [this bag]…LAST WEEK it has come to my attention via Gothamist that the New York Post has brought this to the attention of the Russian Orthodox Church (with predictable results). Way to go guys, that’s what I call professionalism! Perhaps I should provide you with my mailing address so you can simply cut me a check (READ: finders fee) every time you use my web site for news leads without citing it? Would that make it easier for you? Please advise.”–New York Shitty
