A single article was plagiarized? Seems like an AOL writer just didn't know what he was doing. |

Quote: Same list, same research links, she just copied and pasted and switched the order, and split one entry to get 7 instead of 6. Then she rephrased some of it so she wouldn't get caught -- but still preserved some of our jokes and at least one of our typos.

Reading through the thread looks like the offending article is down though somehow simultaneously insisting that nothing was wrong |

I like how initially they insisted that it was an original article, even though one of the typos was copied from the cracked article! Classy stuff. |

I was wondering the same thing, but am unsure if these are HuffPo's people or folks that she needs to clear out of her new house. |

My guess is that she's an AOL person...I was just being snarky about criticisms of HuffPo as they're a content aggregator.

It sounds like from the forum thread this was actually written by a freelancer and defended by what was likely an "facebook monitor" (Probably an unpaid intern managing their social media). Regardless, they took it down, so I guess they finally figured out what she had done. |
