It's just more evidence of the liberal echo chamber.
Liberals get one meme going and then they parrot it to each other.
So it's hardly surprising to see this sort of parroting in print.

Olesker is famous for seizing upon the smallest issues and blowing them out of proportion in an effort to tar anyone not as liberal as he is (especially Ehrlich and Republicans).... but apparently Mr. Olesker is incapable of consistently developing original thoughts to accompany his smears.
Olesker isn't just a plagiarist. He regularly distorted facts or flat-out made them up in order to bolster his opinions. The Sun always let him get away with it because they agreed with his opinions. They used the excuse that he had license to do so because he wrote opinion pieces, not "hard news".
Apparently they couldn't find an excuse to let him get away with outright plagiarism (even though they merely referred to it as 'failure to appropriately attribute' or some such).
BTW, he used to do those 30-second opinion pieces for one of the Balimer TV stations, too. Not only did he have the same journalistic integrity in producing those, but he's ugly and has one of the most annoying voices I've ever heard, to boot.
This is really nothing to cheer.
Better would be that the Sun was disbanded and the assets sold to more deserving owners.
If David Nitkin is fired, indicted, resigns, or otherwise departs does the "Sun Papers Right to access MD State Officials" lawsuit become moot?.
That was then; this is now. Anyone who doesn't see that the vast majority of Old Media people are leftist promoters is one himself.
Can I do a little dance?

Thanks, that is interesting. I wonder how much of this he has done over the years?
well, lets ping him
Thank you for the ping!
BUMP!
Saint Olesker has been Baltimordor's version of Rank Fish for a very long time. I have despised his "reportage" and his constant ducking of any public forum where he would actually have to answer criticism for an equal length of time. Oh happy day!!!
"I hope that people will understand that in the course of deadline pressures and trying to take a jumble of facts and boil them down to something understandable that I made errors of sloppiness and inadvertence that were human mistakes and certainly not in any way willful," Olesker told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
Barbra Streisand.
Saint Olesker is one of the most arrogant public people I have ever seen.
I used to HATE his TV appearances (the one minute opinion bloviation) on JZ.
Pffffft! Typical liberal response when caught red-handed in undeniable wrongdoing: "The VRWC made me do it!"
Yep. Bloviation. Good word.
Speaking of plagiarism, this reminds me of an old Henny Youngman joke (from http://funny2.com/henny.htm ): A man is at the bar, drunk. I pick him up off the floor, and offer to take him home. On the way to my car, he falls down three times. When I get to his house, I help him out of the car, and on the way to the front door, he falls down four more times. I ring the bell, and say, "Here's your husband!" The man's wife says, "Where's his wheelchair?"
Cheers!
Busted~!
Thanks for the ping :-)
