15. It's very simple

See Olbermann's report, then read my study. Or viceversa. Mine was done two years ago.
You'll see the similarities, case by case, example by example he uses. I mean, our study reads like a script for KO's report on the fake terror alerts, only written about 16 months earlier.

And Olbermann did not credit me, or any the other journalists that used and referred to my work.

One thing that bothers me about your comments, besides your incredible contempt for bloggers in general, is that you seem to excuse the fact that a big media player can take the work of a blogger without proper attribution, and we should just shut up because we are not a big media personality like he is. Is it because Olbermann is on our side? I recently saw people in these boards raising hell over the fact that Ann Coulter ripped off other authors, articles and bloggers without attribution in her latest excuse for a book.
I don't know, but I'm starting to get a sense of selective outrage since I've been posting about this matter, a matter which I consider unfair to me and to Biltud. So when Coulter plagiarizes other authors and bloggers without crediting them it's bad. But when Olbermann makes a report that seems taken step-by-step from my study (and for evidence, the post is right there in the links I posted for anyone to see), then I should shut up and be grateful that Olbermann (or a cunning staffer) took it? Furthermore, that makes me "suspect to be a troll"?

Nice.

I see the consistency in these arguments.

But you may be right. Maybe instead of commenting on these matters here I should study this matter with a lawyer.
