Filmmaker Michael Moore, famed for his propagandistic left-slanted portrayals of America in such films as Roger and Me, Bowling for Columbine, and Sicko, is under fire for lifting the work of a writer from the Knoxville News Sentinel and reposting it on his own site in total despite that copyright laws disallow such a practice.
On his site Random Mumblings the News Director of Innovation for the Knoxville News Sentinel, Jack Lail, reported that Michael Moore lifted an entire story and its accompanying video production from his newspaper’s website and reposted it all on MichaelMoore.com. Not only did he lift the whole story (not just excerpts, but the whole thing) and take the video to repost it on his own site, Michael Moore did not add any new content and even re-processed the News Sentinel’s video to remove their logo from the screen.

If the logo were a hamburger, we would never see it.
This guy is getting really lazy. But honestly, how many of us know someone who works in media ? I know a few people. This sort of thing isn’t special, it’s the routine. Copy and paste, baby. It’s the Cheating Culture.

Moore’s a socialist-stealing is all they know.
He should just be thankful he stopped at plagiarism and did not decide that he wanted to rape the guy’s daughter. Under the new Polanski rules it is apparently now kosher.
Somehow this has to be Bush's fault.
STEAL?.......Such harsh words!...........maybe “creatively borrowed” world be better.............
Meh, expected given we have a lamearse, idiot-ridden Jack Squat administration fudging varying academic and expert papers and writings...case in point: the papers written and signed by oil academics and experts. =.=
but, they called it Cooperative Learning back at Davison High School....
I live in Knoxville and frequently read the News-Sentinel online. I stopped subscribing to the paper years ago, however, due to their decidedly liberal bent. Curiously, I have never heard about this in Knoxville, and a search of the KNS website reveals no mention of Michael Moore in this context. Just goes to show you the extent to which the lamestream media will go to protect their own, even when they are fighting amongst themselves.
