BlogNetNews pointed me to the curmudgeonly ending way, way down in Jody Rosen’s rather obsessive dogging of some freesheet hack’s gross acts of plagiarism:
But perhaps the Bulletin is merely on-trend—or even ahead of its time. The Drudge Report, the Huffington Post, and Real Clear Politics have made names and money by sifting through RSS feeds; Tina Brown and Barry Diller are preparing the launch of their own news aggregator.

So he equates wholesale plagiarism with linking. Whew, that’s somebody who sure doesn’t understand the link economy .
Jody, I confess to a brazen act of theft: I linked to you. Twice. Shame on me.
But here’s curmudgeonliness with a reverse twist Jonathan Isaby, outgoing political diarist of the Telegraph, complains to the Press Gazette that all this cons...

I’m at the gathering of ONO (pronounced oh-no — as in, ’somebody made a mistake, oh, no’), the Organization of News Ombudsmen , at Harvard (probably a more fun gathering than a copy editors’ conference). I came a day before my panel because I never miss a chance to see a PowerPoint performance by my part-of-a-boss, the Guardian’s Alan Rusbridger. So I’ll liveblog this. ( Here ’s a PDF of his prepared notes.)

In my ego searches, I just saw a splog that copied text of mine but ran it through ridiculous almost-synonym replacements.
