I don't see the part where they "stole" it. They just didn't mention tweetknot by name. I'm not a TC fan at all, but I think you need to back up your accusation

- shabda 17y agoHow is not mentioning both the primary source AND the site in question, not stealing?
- icey 17y agoShow me where I can see this story on Tweetknot's site, and then I'll agree with you that it's stealing. Otherwise, it's just a lack of attribution which is pretty normal when writing stories.
- michaelawill 17y agoYou're missing the point entirely. The story wasn't STOLEN. It doesn't exist at all. TC wants a dramatic story. And the only way to make it credible is to hide what they are talking about. Once the site in question was revealed, their article became laughable.
- ryanb 17y agoTC intentionally didn't reveal their source because it would have undermined the outlandish assertion they wanted to make. As always, TC tried their best to make a story out of nothing.. Link bait.
- amitu 17y agoI call it stealing because if I come and tell you a story and you publish it, without any attribution at all, then its almost stolen. Its quite gray area, but not something I would consider ethical.
