raw story, more plagiarism

* desi:

"Despicable: The WSJ "covers" a story that Raw Story broke 3 MONTHS AGO -- WITHOUT ATTRIBUTION!
Drop the WSJ a line and ask them if they plan to properly attribute this article to Raw Story. This is beginning to happen all to often . Raw Story has always been blog friendly, so let's back them up."

according to AP, Rawstory is a blog - except that the AP has never heard of R/S so i'm not sure what they are thinking...

* ron on plagiarism: "Talon News shut down, but GOPUSA.com is still kicking, and they did a major upgrade to their Website not long ago that makes it look less amateurish...so business may be booming for Bobby Eberle, with all the publicity he received last year (plus he's running for Vice President of the Texas GOP)."
he has more about the incredible work he did last year on gannon's plagiarism that i pointed to last week. interesting the Eberle is running for the Veep position - last year everyone at the GOP denied ever hearing of him.

* speaking of, alrisa has a piece up at huffpo about one of sibel's whistleblower cases: "

There are so many GOP scandals breaking every single moment that it is almost impossible to keep track of each and every high crime and misdemeanor.

The latest corporate welfare project, brought to you by the good folks of the urinary executive persuasion, will soon have California residents drinking sewage directly out of the faucet while the EPA twirls about like a bureaucratic half-wit."

bizarre. cheney 'lobbied' for the group and the EPA hasn't even done an impact study.
