IS THE FAUX A SERIAL PLAGIARIZER?
We just thought of some good names for a breakfast meal: total, cheers, Raisin Bran, oh wait, those have been taken and besides that would make is cereal plagiarizers, not serial ones. And we just may be, BECAUSE we’ve done it again, and this time it’s not just the little old “Advocate’s” ideas we copied before they thought of them, no this time it’s the NY Times. In Thursday, January 10th’s op-ed page, the center article is by Andrew Kohut, President of the PeW Research Center entitled “Getting It Wrong”. This refers, of course, to the new Hampshire primary and why the polls predicting, no declaring, in fact, a victory for Barak Obama over Hillary Clinton were wrong, and by so much. A key reason, Mr. Kohurt concludes is “the long standing pattern of pre-election polls overstating the support for black candidates among white voters, particularly white voters who are poor.” We believe he’s right, and…….we’re caught because we raised that very possibility in a number of previous faux news releases, referencing the 12% defeat of Ron kirk in the 2004 Texas Senate race, when the pre-election polls had him as even. Sorry Mr. Kohut, we promise this time will be the last time we plagiarize in advance……until the next time.
