This may be terrible to say, but we don’t expect all that much from the TV media in Greenville, Mississippi. Not even from WABG “Delta’s #1 News Station.” That’s why it didn’t come as that big a surprise to find that the ABC network affiliate had “borrowed” one of our photos and used it in the header of their corporate website.
The photo ran in a story we posted on September 18, 2007 about KNSD reporter Rory Devine covering Carlsbadistan’s new entertainment regulations.
Not only did WABG borrow the photo from us (and cropped out the Carlsbadistan logo), but they cut Rory Devine right out of the photo out as well and then Photoshopped their logo on the front of a KNSD’s live truck.
We don’t know which is more embarrassing, the fact that they hijacked a photo, or that WABG doesn’t have its own live broadcasting truck. But then why would they. They’re the “Delta’s #1 News Station.”
Special thanks to a group of “Internet friends” who somehow figured this all out.
