While this is wily, it's legal. But news organizations may not tolerate others cherry-picking their content and repurposing it for profit for much longer.

...thank and commend The Harvard Crimson for its coverage of the historic stamp issuance ceremony we held to honor Harvard Law School graduate and civil rights legend Charles Hamilton Houston, Jr., here in Cambridge, Saturday, February 21, 2009. While the Crimson’s article accurately conveyed the content and spirit of the event, it overlooked the exceptionally important work of my friend and colleague, Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., who served on the United States Postal Service Committee responsible for selecting individuals to be honored by the issuance of stamps. He played a key role in seeing that Charles...
