It's not unusual for a station to claim it's got an "exclusive" which is really recycled news, and yep, I didn't go back to find Carey's post. I delayed posting for twenty minutes while I searched for a quote about birdies singing on BlogHouston, but didn't go back to Insite to check KPRC's claims to fame.
