Is WND's Jerome Corsi a plagiarist? (Zot's all)

World Net Daily writer Jerome Corsi may have really stepped in it this time...

Loren Collins, who writes at Barackryphal, just uncovered what could shred whatever little credibility Corsi’s had.

Loren found that a Dec. 19 article published in WND, headlined, “Obama’s Legacy of Broken Promises – in Kenya” seems to have passages in it that were pulled partially or wholly from articles that appeared in the London Evening Standard – July 25, 2008 – and a May 2011 African news service story.

In his article, Corsi says all but two of the quotes in question came from his “inside sources” in Kenya.

But as Loren points out, most of Corsi’s “borrowed” material seems to have come from quite visible sources:

"In short, every single quote or finding specifically attributed to Corsi’s unnamed “researchers” was lifted from an earlier publication by another news agency."

You really need to go to Loren’s Web site to read this; he even reprints Corsi’s article and color codes the questionable passages by their probable origin...
