And no, despite the glaring patency of it, the state-run CBC isn’t in fact the best choice for that role since if smart folks ever start to see it my way, state-run and state-owned media will be banned in Canada, and that notion enshrined in our Constitution.
So perhaps another liberal-leftist organization (preferably a non-state-funded one!) should bid for the role of clearing the left’s talking points so they don’t just keep repeating the same nonsense over and over like unthinking automatons and propagandists.
Canadian author admits to lifting passages from newspaper article
CBC Arts
Canadian author Paul William Roberts has admitted that some parts of his 2004 bestselling book about the U.S. invasion of Iraq contains passages that are similar to ones written by another writer, according to the Globe and Mail.
Roberts’s book, A War Against Truth: An Intimate Account of the Invasion of Iraq, was a nominee for the 2004 Charles Taylor Prize for literary non-fiction.
The article says the Toronto-based writer issued a letter of apology two weeks ago to a lawyer for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution acknowledging the use of material written in 2002 by the newspaper’s editorial page editor Jay Bookman.
The Globe’s article says Roberts divulged that some portions of his book “closely resemble or are indistinguishable from passages” written in a Sept. 29, 2002, article by Bookman. Roberts goes as far as to call his actions “an egregious lapse of professional conduct.”
The Canadian publisher of the book, Raincoast Books, has halted shipments since Jan. 8 after it received notice of the breach from the Atlanta paper.
No word on the egregious aping of Michael Moore by virtually all of Canada’s Liberals and Layton’s you’ve got to be kidding party clergy.
