I think you mean the FTC, not the FCC. Print media and blogs are subject to the same disclosure/unfair trade practices laws. (Have you ever seen those "ADVERTISEMENT NOT EDITORIAL CONTENT" lines at the top or bottoms of certain pages of magazines/newspapers?) I've pointed out before that most of the Boarding Area blogs actually do not comply with the FTC guidance on disclosures.
And yes, you are correct re the lack of compliance with these guidelines. That goes for most blogs that cover products and services I would suppose

Would have been cheaper if he just pledged the rest of this himself:

No mention of the post saying the CSP is better than the CSR? You know, the CSR was the greatest card ever and pumped by every blogger ad nauseum, including Lucky, yet now its not better than a "lesser" card from the same bank.
Oooooh, he has affiliate links for the CSP. Nevermind.

Ben stealing info fromFlyertalk?
So, Ben has an article on the delayed opening of St. Kitts Park Hyatt. Ben lifted my post verbatim off Flyertalk.com. He claims it came from the Will Run For Miles blog, but if you check it out that blog, you will see that is not correct.
When I posted a comment on his blog pointing out this issue, he removed my comment immediately. Here is my original post on flyertalk and you can see he lifted the details verbatim.
