Reply #11: Ahem... they are not "similar"... they are THE SAME [View All]

[Julius Civitatus]

Just clearing that out. He (or his staffers) took our work for their report without attribution. Sure, there could be a remote chance their staffers researched all this without coming across my site and a study that we published 16 months before them. It's been cached on Google since 2004. Before Keith Olbermann aired "his" report, my study had been quoted and referred by (among others):

- Salon.com
- Joe Conason
- Bill Berkowitz
- Mother Jones magazine
- Air America radio

They all credited and mentioned the original study, and even linked to our blog. It's even polite to do so.

Within the first couple of days after we published it, we received over 200,000 unique hits. The study was around. I can't accept this whole KO thing would be a coincidence.

I agree becoming a professional journalist would be swell, but the market is a bit restricted and it's not so easy getting a job at NBC, for instance.
