One local television station is calling out another for the content they've published.
WTAE TV's Twitter account retweeted a post from WPXI TV along with the message "A two-day old story is NOT breaking news."

The somewhat surprising move has garnered some quite a bit of reaction from Twitter users, including from other members of the media.

One Twitter user grabbed a screen shot of the tweet in case the original gets deleted.
The story referenced by WTAE is one about a tree falling on a house in Forest Hills, which according to their website they published on May 26.
WPXI's tweet references the clean up efforts from the fallen tree, but doesn't say that it's "breaking news," so it's unclear what prompted the initial tweet.
