\"GlennA few weeks ago Tucker Carlson’s web site, The Daily Caller, ran the latest phony videos from scam artist James O’Keefe’s dishonest NPR sting. Shortly thereafter, Glenn Beck’s web site, The Blaze, took apart the videos revealing how deceptively they had been edited. This created a small schism in the right-wing media family.<\/p>\n

Today that split has been wedged a little wider. TheDC published a lengthy article that accuses Beck of being a serial thief<\/a>. He is shown to have appropriated the work of other conservative authors on multiple occasions so that it appears that he came up with the material himself. In some cases he went so far as to erase video logos from the originals in order to hide the source. Some of those whom Beck ripped off were vocally upset:<\/p>\n

Andrew Breitbart, Big Journalism:<\/strong> “…sometimes he also uses other peoples’ work without crediting them, making it appear as though it were his own.”<\/p>\n

Rebel Pundit:<\/strong> “You’ve got pretty much the biggest guy in the movement take your stuff and actually have his editors spend the time to scrub my name off of it.”<\/p>\n

John Sexton, VerumSerum:<\/strong> “He’s used our stuff without any hat tip at all. I don’t understand that.”<\/p>\n

Pamela Geller, AtlasShrugs:<\/strong> “I don’t know how to describe such outrageous and proud thievery. I like his work, but he’s a thief.”<\/p>\n

Cliff Kincaid, Accuracy in Media:<\/strong> “[Beck’s producers] told me Glenn wanted to handle the issue himself, which means he wanted to appear to be the expert.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On his radio program this morning<\/a> Beck and his crew escalated the conflict. They responded to the column in TheDC with a sarcastic reference to the article being an act of vengeance for the Blaze’s takedown on the NPR story:<\/p>\n

Sidekick Stu:<\/strong> “Clearly there is no attempt at revenge to come up with a pathetic, horrible story about how Glenn steals from his own employees.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then Beck defends himself by saying that there are no original ideas – a justification that implies it’s OK to steal anything. He then proceeds to describe an item on The Blaze that has links to YouTube or some other source material. However, the complaints about Beck’s misappropriation were addressed to his television show, not his web site. And the TV show had no links or other attributions. <\/p>\n

Previously Beck has been been called a plagiarist<\/a> by the popular radio conspiracy guru, Alex Jones. Jones, who has called Beck a whore and a punk, has repeatedly lambasted Beck for stealing his research and twisting it to fit a rightist\/GOP agenda.<\/p>\n

It’s rather amusing that anyone would want to take credit for the garbage Beck spews, but pride of authorship extends even to nutcases who peddle insane conspiracy theories. If Beck rips them off they are entitled to their indignation. And the skirmishes that ensue ought to be entertaining for those of us in the reality-based world as right-wingers bark at each other. So have at it and may the craziest man win.<\/p>\n

Update:<\/a> Add Mike Huckabee to the list of those with whom Beck is feuding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
