All quality hacks journalists plagiarize!

If they work for the Republican media, that is. Case in point, this World New Daily article about Michael Moore from June 3rd. The details of this article were based on a story printed in a Swedish newspaper and translated into English.

Who made the translation? A blogger, who posted his account 24 hours before WND published their article. While the WND article admits that they story had to be translated to English, they never mention who actually made the translation or provide a link to the blog that broke the story.

Given that WND, a profit driven website, is stealing content from a non-profit driven blog, I'd say that's grounds for a lawsuit.
