Did mAnne Coulter write the video essay?

She's a real fan of other people's material.....especially when writing her own book.

Not a good week for CBS News. First Imus, now this.

Imus => NBC.


Oh nevermind.

Data...........Oh nevermind.


LOL!!!!

It is easy to see how BOWA is a product of Bush's "No Child Left Behind."

Producer is fired and no one had the ability to use a search engine to see like information.

Wow, Couric and company are up to modern times! Typical blond, checked her own work!

"We were horrified," CBS News spokeswoman Sandra Genelius said. "It was almost verbatim."

WTF was this guy thinking?

That the WSJ wouldn't NOTICE?

Steal from WSJ then give it over to Katie?

Wot could have induced this guy to do this?

Money troubles? Addiction issues?
Sheer fuc*ing bone idle LAZINESS?!

Okay screw wot was in his head...

WHO is this guy?

"CBS would not identify the producer fired for the transgression"

Why?

Cos he doesn't want the next news channel hew works for to know about this?

Jayson Blair name eventually became this running joke synonymous with plagiarism but THIS guy somehow gets a pass?

Is this kinda cover-up normal in the teevee news game?

Sheesh!

Be Well.

PS: Katie Couric is part elf!

A lot of people don't know this.

It's partly why some folk find her so darned sexy!

Mmmmmm Katieeeee.

Katie Couric is living proof billionaires are insane.

"The essays are carried regularly on "Couric & Co.," the anchor's blog on the CBS News Web site. Couric and producers meet once a week to decide on topics and the producers write them for Couric to read on camera."

What a gem, what a pearl... Let me get this right, it's Couric's blog but she only tells the producers what to write and then she "blogs" it? Hahaha Who the hell is she, Katie Burgundy?
