How the Hell are they gonna say that they copied it word for word but it's not right?
![]()
Sorry if the language offends anyone.But that just pisses me off this is a wonderful site and all of the ads that have come out on the retailers sites have been accurate. Except for a few things changed at Wal-Mart since the leak was over a month ago.
My thoughts exactly!
Plus, what is wrong with copy the ads word for word? Isn't that what we are here for?
Stories like this are the reason that I don't believe more than 10% of what I hear on the news.
Did these geeks even look at this website? Even if these ads are wrong, they are upfront that these are rumored sales. At no time have I ever made all of my shopping plans based soley on the ads on this site. Even though I have found nothing but accuracy.
Heck, I think this site is great! I have told all of my friends and relatives about it.

You will probably get the same retarded reply from him that I did and it was hateful. He is not a very nice person. You should read the e-mail that I got. Anyway, I hope the local viewers know exactly what he is like because if he reported the news around here I sure wouldn't watch that channel's news at all.My email to them wasn't written so well but here's what I sent...
I just saw your news repot on Gottadeal.com. Your investigation into Gottadeal is so off base.
Not only did GottaDeal.com HAVE the print ad for Walmart listed on their website back in October but it is the same ad that Walmart distributed to their customers within the last few days. Some of the prices on the website may be Walmarts everyday low price but they were the items and prices listed in the ad that Gottadeal posted a month ago. It clearly shows in the ad that these everyday low price items you are referring to were never listed in the website nor in the ad as a blitz item, so naturally they would be available now.
In my personal opinion, you or whoever you have do your investigating do a better job next time. Your report was full of lies and inaccuracies. I can't believe you call yourself a reporter. You should be calling yourself a liar instead.
So if you want to "get Wise", do some better investigating and reporting.

You know what I found amusing about his reply to your email? If he double checked Target he would have found that this one was released last week? or the week before,(I can't remember but I do remember I was totally excited) and it is the same one posted on their website today.
I think writing him is useless - the station is the one that needs to be written to. (and maybe their legal department)
My Target.com ad has 2 items different! I have to give it to this site, the ads are VERY accurate and those 2 Target items are the only differences I have found.

This guy just sent me an e-mail saying that he stands behind his story and that all of the stores except WalMart agree with him. He is ridiculous and I hope he gets his just rewards. But I will not waste any more time on him as I have to get through Thanksgiving and BF this week and I need all of my energy!!!LOL
If he's got agreements from the companies then email mail him back and tell him to post scans of them on the station's website and prove it. Otherwise he's just blowing a lot of air like his story was.

wow, just noticed they are a CBS affiliate...that is just said. I would expect this kind of incompetence from Fox.
Amusing thought - the WI story was also by a CBS affiliate. Ah, Rathergate?
2nd amusing thought - WREG is seemingly owned by hmmm, the NY Times Co.

What an asshat!Here's the reply I got...
Are you finished? Got your point across? Good...
Now hear this...I stand by my story...lock, stock and barrel. I checked,
double-checked and triple-checked the Black Friday ads with each of the
retailers named in my story. Only Wal-Mart's matched. Sorry, but I have
to call it as I see it. Based on what I found, I could not in good
conscience recommend gottadeal.com to anyone.
Now...I managed to respond to you without getting personal. Too bad you
couldn't do the same.

I'll definitely write! Gotta deal ad site rocks. I must say, though, that the message boards are riddled with inaccuracies. Like the CC laptop is available online only, etc. I swear some the of the readers are purposely trying to misinform others. But Brad cannot be held responsible for that!
Admin/mods work quite a bit to make sure that the inaccuracies on the forums are pointed out as incorrect/misleading. But I do agree, quite a few are misinformed. I don't think many are trying to mislead though, it's just not knowing the full facts quite yet.

That said, I think the reply that all2tired rec'd from this guy needs to be fwd'd to the bigger bosses of that news station as well as CBS, etc. I also think they need emailed by a few people pointing out each and every inaccuracy in his report, the slander, etc.

I would not use a form letter, it would be ignored. But thanks for the e-mail addresses, I re-sent my e-mail directly to Andy Wise.
Judging from his response to all2tired got though, I don't think they care too much about the truth.

He definitely copied his response "word for word" because he sent me the exact e-mail that he sent all2tired. LMFAO!!! I sent my e-mail directly to him. He claims that all of the other stores confirmed his report and that WM was the only one who confirmed that this site had their ad before it was released, basically. I think he's about the biggest ASS I've ever seen. I also believe that he should have to answer for being what I feel is an incompetent ASS!I would not use a form letter, it would be ignored.

All the reason why I said to send your complaints to the other media outlets in the area. Forward his canned replies as well.
But if you want you opinion to matter.... KEEP THE EMOTIONS OUT OF IT. Otherwise it'll be viewed as the comments of a raging lunatic.
And ask the question if he claims all the other stores confirmed his position then why did he state in his story that he only checked three of the ads??
This guy obviously does not have a clue as to the power of the internet.
