I Plagiarize Jeff Gannon the Plagiarist
I plagiarize Jeff Gannon so that liberal bloggers can read Jeff Gannon without giving him any hits, and since no one seems to care about Jeff's plagiarism, and since the only justice i can provide is in the form of poetic

8. Hey, I'm looking at the canon and have a question for you.
When you say "plagarism" which texts are you meaning?

I've seem the Media Matters comparison. And in my opinion, that wasn't plagarism, that was a gift from someone in the WH. Are you meaning that one or are you meaning something else?

12. I'm looking for but not finding the source for this last mendacity.
Any help would be appreciated.

Tried the WH site, but I don't know it very well.

Google gives me an article pointing out the "freedom is the direction of history" is a Camus ripoff.

Ideas?

13. Here you go:
He just copy and pasted from this transcript:

14. Thanks, yes. The speech I found.

I'm just not convinced he's that skillful.

If you look at the Media Matters article -- the one with the two columns, the grammatical bridging in both columns is too similar to be written by different entities. Or, that's how it looks to me.

On edit: In other words, I think you're giving him too much credit!

18. nope
In the Media Matters article, the Gannon side is the same except that it says "Bush is touting" and "He is promoting."

Jeff is perfectly capable of copy-and-pasting himself...and adding those little clauses (sometimes the clauses he adds don't make grammatical sense to boot).

Another thing to consider...is that nearly every single Talon News article "written" by Jeff and the other "journalists" is dated at least a day or two after the source material (source material meaning the real news organization articles and government press releases that were plagiarized).

I guess it take a little time for Jeff, Bobby & Co. to copy-and-paste and add a few clauses.

15. Here's the link to the MM piece I mentioned about.
It contains an interesting juxtaposition of WH and WHJeff :)
