Dowd Plagiarizes Left-Blogger

The is no doubt the Maureen Dowd of the New York Times plagiarizes a left-wing blogger. The blogger John Marshall, writing at TPM on Thursday. More and More the timeline is raising the question why, if torture was to prevent terrorist attacks, it seemed to happen mainly during the period when we were looking for what was essentially political information to justify the invasion of Iraq. This is what Maureen Dowd said today: More and More the timeline is raising the question why, if torture was to prevent terrorist attacks, it seemed to happen mainly during the period when we were looking for what was essentially political information to justify the invasion of Iraq. This is twice in a week that a New york Times Columnist has been caught plagiarizing from left-wing blogs. The left-wing columnist spend more time reading the Huffington Post and Daily Kos than doing critical research for the columns. This is a new type of journalism which is practiced at the Cable News Networks especially MSNBC and CNN which picks up liberal stories from Media Matters and other left-wing blogs and presents them as fact to American public. There will be a "Sorry Ass" statement issued by Maureen Dowd saying that she made a terrible mistake while doing research for her column and it will never again. Maureen Dowd will apologize to all the readers of the New York Times and the left-wing blogger at TMP. Finally, the funny part of her apology is that she said that she was talking to friend and she might have made a mistake and copy and pasted without attribution and she thought it was a original idea. HEY! Maureen by Blog post was a original idea. I forgot the credit goes to ALLAHPUNDIT AT HOTAIR.

OBAMA "NEWSPAPER BAILOUT" COMING SOON

At the White House Correspondents dinner in Washington D.C. Saturday Evening President Obama ended on a serious note pledging his underlying support for journalist and newspapers. President Obama spoke about the job losses and changes in the industry "then quoted Jefferson" If he, had the choice between government with newspapers or government without newspapers he would choose the latter. The gushing was perhaps understandable at at press function. But what was said next foretold of a newspaper bailout. President Obama told the crowd "your ultimate success is essential for our democracy before shortly saying Government without a "tough vibrant media" is not a option in the United States. The notable thing in context that Obama talked about newspapers, without other media outlets being mentioned. It would appear the President Obama holds the mainstream media and particularly newspapers above online media. It is clear when he talked about a "tough vibrant media " he is referring to the mainstream media and newspapers in particular. Finally, President Obama concludes with the line that the problems in the media industry are problems worth solving which sounds a awful like the final words that there is going to be a newspaper bailout coming soon. If you think Obama is getting good press from the mainstream media wait until he, passes out bailout money to these newspapers we, will have the modern day Pravda media. I forgot we already have a modern day Russian Pravda media supporting the "Messiah".
