Points Miles & Martinis is just phoning it in.

The battle between American Airlines and Delta Air Lines continues over service to Tokyo’s Haneda airport. To find out why the airlines are fighting, I’ll let you read this Bloomberg article which explains it in detail.
And then proceeds to "quote"...the entire article (save for one sentence at the end regarding stock prices). Not long ago the blog tried to pass off a totally copied USA Today article as their own post content (see the "copy cat" thread in this forum). I'm not sure but I don't know that wrapping quotes around the entire Bloomberg article is permitted, though I guess it's a step up from blatant plagiarism

Even aside from the citation/copying issues, what value do posts like this bring to BA? I don't normally read PM&M regularly so maybe they do better in other posts but the prior plagiarized post and the above post don't make a good impression.
