      <![CDATA[Oh HuffPo! They did major stealing of election maps from NYT and other coverage in November.
    
    They are a complete bunch of thieves and for all their high minded principles they abuse fair-use and also hot-link other content.
    
    I could go on, but its just sad really.

      <![CDATA[Since HuffPo Chicago is the model Ben Eason wants the entire company to adopt, why not just aggregate back what they aggregated from you.
    
    In days, the entire Chicago metro area will collapse into a vortex created by a concentric RSS spiral.
    
    Then the survivors can Twitter it!

      <![CDATA[This is their SOP. They've been doing it for a while now. Happens to our stuff all the time. 
    
    What bothers me is the unclear attribution. It looks like original Chuffpo content save for the tiny  line under the hed. Ideally, it would say "Chicago Reader Critics' Pick" at the top of the body in the same font size.
    
    I'm not the only one who's bothered by it. No less than Roger Ebert was confused too:
