While it’s nice that the News Sentinel decided to do a story about Kim and John Richards and Kim’s battle with breast cancer, I have decided today to block Fort Wayne Newspapers from accessing my blog. I did the original story “Support your local coffee shop” 4 days earlier. The News Sentinel, not unlike Pat White use this blog for show prep. Do I care, not really. And in this case, it’s for a good cause.
When Matt Kelty’s plea deal was announced, both WANE TV and Indiana’s News Center gave us attribution and provided a link after copying some of our content. Kevin Leininger did a story on the same subject using content from this site, but instead only stated “from a local blog”.
I’ll most likely do it tomorrow. I suppose a redirect is what I’ll use, I just need an idea of where to send them. Any ideas?
Off to cover Sarah Palin – AWB

Send them to the McCain website. Its obvious they don’t know how to find it otherwise.
One of my favorite reads is the
People’s Weekly World.
Very similar to the Fort Wayne Newspapers.
Tom,
Does McCain know how to find the McCain website?
AWB,
Send them someplace NSFW.
If you listen to Blowhart White, you know where he gets his show prep. I often know what he’s going to talk about before noon. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to surf the web and the “pop culture” he talks about, I don’t care about. It’s like reading the National Enquirer. I do like hearing the “guests” and callers though.
I had got an email about a week earlier about Kim & John Richards, probably the same one you did. It needed to have a wide audience so that we all know to buy our coffee from a local business and knowing that you are helping to support a local family.
