Post OK with plagarism?

Right wing political tool and Washington Post (alleged) media critic Howie Kurtz buries the lead when it comes to plagarism in his piece on Whiny Ass Titty Ben.

Late yesterday, the liberal Web sites Daily Kos and Atrios posted examples of what appeared to be instances of plagiarism from Domenech's writing at the William & Mary student paper. Three sentences of a 1999 Domenech review of a Martin Scorsese film were identical to a review in Salon magazine, and several sentences in Domenech's piece on a James Bond movie closely resembled one in the Internet Movie Database. Domenech said he needed to research the examples but that he never used material without attribution and had complained about a college editor improperly adding language to some of his articles.

Numerous examples of plagarism by Whiny Ass Titty Ben on his college newspaper and his work with The National Review and Kurtz buries it in the ninth graph. And he doesn't even ask Jim Brady, executive editor of WaPo.com for a comment? What's next for WaPo.com, hiring Jayson Blair or Stephen Glass? Speaking of whiny ass titty babies, Brady will probably go crying to his friends in the right wing blogtopia, the same ones that hate The Post for being part of the "liberal media,"
like he did when people complained about Debbie "Truthiness" Howell.
