I am so pissed about this. A room full of journalists? Just yell, "Hey, anybody read any good books lately?" and start writing shit down!

Update: it was a syndicated piece from a freelancer. CST pledges greater transparency when it comes to local reporting (their focus) vs. syndication

Yeah. This is like that law journalist that livestreamed himself jerking off- level bad.
