Beck also does subtly co-opt other people’s work.

Levin should take Beck to court if his work was stolen. Levin is a decent lawyer, right?

Otherwise, he should quit whining about it and spreading nebulous rumors about alleged, but never specified, plagiarism.

Endless rumor mongering, without closure in a court of law, is not fair to Beck or Levin.

In the name of Justice, bring the charges or stop repeating them!

Good point, but I don’t think it can be plagiarism without it being in print.
Could be wrong on this though.
However, I will agree that the internecine BS has to stop.
I do think Levin has a legitimate gripe, but needs to handle it better.
I do think that Beck co-opts others work for self-promotion and needs to dial that part of his ego back.
I’m not sure about the allegations of Levin being a bulldog for Hannity because Hannity is threatened by Beck, however, anything is possible.

All of that said, the best thing would be for everyone to grow the F up and conclude this.

Either call Beck out with evidence or bring him into the fold.
Again, the best thing I think to resolve the problem is for Beck to use his big microphone to interview Levin on his book. He can easily do a special on gross media bias. He can even say, your book is one of my favorite references.
If that were to happen, I think a lot of this nonsense will be over with.
