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.
>Either call Beck out with evidence or bring him into the fold.
Exactly right. If Levin refuses to force the issue, it’s because he prefers the charges to hang over Beck’s head without giving him a chance to clear the air.
Any lawyer can write a Cease & Desist letter. Hell, anybody can. Levin should be able to do this sleepwalking.
That he has not is very revealing of his motivations.
