An Editor of the Syracuse newspaper The Post Standard and the website Syracuse.com is calling out a local Sinclair station for Plagiarism.
The Post Standard Editor Steven Billmyer sent an email to WSTM News Director Rae Fulkerson pointing out a story written by WSTM's Digital EP and how much of the story was lifted from the newspaper's story with no attribution.

Dear News Director Rae Fulkerson,
I would like to bring to your attention an article that appears to have large sections plagiarized by your newsroom word for word from our report at syracuse.com. (see below) I believe you would want to know about such reporting, I know I would like to know if one of my staff people did this.
Thank you
Steven Billmyer
