Rush Radio 94.5 plagiarism, part IV

Rush Radio, 94.5, continues to post news to its website that it copies from other sources  (previously, previously and previously):

highlighted portions copied word-for-word from the News & Record (here):
GREENSBORO, NC- A special meeting will be held Thursday to discuss the selection of a site for a new southeast-area elementary school. The meeting comes after the Guilford County Board of Commissioners rejected the school board's chosen site last month. Angry parents have said the location off Stewart Mill Road chosen for the new school is too far east. 

They say that the new school's primary purpose was to relieve overcrowding at Alamance Elementary but that the new site would draw students from Alamance, Sedalia and McLeansville elementary schools. School board members have said Alamance still will be helped and that with the land for their chosen site available at $907,000, the purchase is the fiscally responsible thing to do.

  2. Thanks for commenting, rmelton. Some people apparently still don't get it, so I'll continue at my choosing, if you don't mind. I hope I don't bother you.

  4. Rush Radio somehow managed to dodge a huge bullet earlier this year when a caller to the Bill Flynn morning show called Barack Obama "a n-----." I guess Clear Channel did not see the need to invest in a 10 second delay.

  8. I don't think I'm wrong here when I say that the news you hear on the radio are not the exact same scripts used on the internet website. Those radio newscasts are a whole lot shorter than what you posted/copied from the website.
