It’s as he says.
 
I’m confused though, is Sweetie Bot a Horse-News staffer? If so, why did Liki Weaks submit the story and not SB?

@Background Pony #D8F6: “people tends to do stupid things when they are upset about something”
 
Well, that would explain this upload…

@Background Pony #D8F6  
Seriously. Scroll down. At the end of the article, there’s a link to Sweetie Bot and Horse News, clearly stating that’s where the article came from.

Seth was called out on this on that same article and he has refused to make any comment, even one explaining the Sweetie Bot source (and it used to say “Sweetie Belle”)
 
Also, (on that same article) I saw a comment about a guy asking him why he was refusing to make any comments about 4chan’s cameo during Pinkie Pie’s short and seth claimed that he didn’t wanted to make people lose their job, whatever it may mean.
 
Personally I think he’s jealous because 4chan made it into EG but his news site didn’t, and people tends to do stupid things when they are upset about something.
 
The overly agressive comments posted at his site and Horse News trying to silence the issue aren’t helping much to his cause either.

If people actually read the article in EQD it did say the following: “As always, thanks to Sweetie Bot from HN for all of it!”
 
With links and everything.

Well, you have to consider who’s behind Horse News (slogan: IWTCIRD).

Oh look what we have here
 
Looks like Sweetie Bot did submit it to EqD. But let’s not lose this chance to stir up internecine drama.

A tip to Horse News: If you don’t want your reporters’ stories showing up on other websites without attribution to Horse News, tell your reporters not to send stories to other websites.

Why am I not surprised that it’s Background Ponys that post dumb drama stuff that can be debunked looking at the exact pircture they uploaded?
 
SweetieBot send the article to both sites. Is that so hard to undestand?

They did not “jump” on the story. It said Sweetie Bot sent it to them.

EQD doesn’t source EFN or DHN, why should they start with HN?
 
Welcome to the cutthroat world of small horse journalism.

Or did Sweetie-Bot just submit the transcript to both sites?
