On the other end of the spectrum, theIND makes this a front page story, and it is not written by any of their writers. Okay, I know you guys had permission to publish it, but that move has the same "LAZY" characteristics as Jim Brown. At least he is a politician turned "journalist". - beheard Tue, 02 Aug 2011 14:09:33 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/8725-ctrlc#comment-20334 If TheInd laid an "EGG, then the Slabbed, the Bayou Perspective, the Central Louisiana Politics and The Louisiana Conservative, scrambled the egg and served it up.......A LA DAILY RAG the local daily, aka cvracked egg - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Fri, 29 Jul 2011 03:38:40 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/8725-ctrlc#comment-20299 After reading the article and comments, you guys really laid an egg. - Anthony Boudin Thu, 28 Jul 2011 07:57:54 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/8725-ctrlc#comment-20293 Love The Independent, but have to disagree with your coverage of this so-called "news". I always thought people who plagiarize failed to cite the original source. In Jim Brown's case, he pointed you to the writer and publication where it appeared. So maybe he was a little lazy in attributing every single line. Gambit didn't even run this as a cover story and it's their story. So The Independent lifts it from Gambit and blows it up to a cover story? Maybe your cover should have clearly said, "Reprinted from Gambit." - Rouge Reader Wed, 27 Jul 2011 21:31:07 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/8725-ctrlc#comment-20286 On too frequent occasions the Independent tries to turn trivial matters into news. This is one of those cases. This is all that you can come up with for your lead news? Pretty weak in my view. - Gene Broussard Wed, 27 Jul 2011 18:52:35 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/8725-ctrlc#comment-20274 Ultimtately, plagiarism does need to be intentional -- it can be accidental. Regardless, what Brown allegedly did would be enough to get a college student expelled (that means thrown out for good). - Narco Wed, 27 Jul 2011 14:24:10 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/8725-ctrlc#comment-20273 Don't forget "The Independent"'s own analysis of a local alleged plagiarist a few years ago; see Reese Fuller's old articles to see what I mean. (Maybe Fuller was at the Times of Acadiana at the time, but I'm pretty sure he was with the Independent.) - Farron Wed, 27 Jul 2011 14:22:58 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/8725-ctrlc#comment-20268 Jim Brown? Is this really a big story item? It might be juicy to The Ind but it is not that meaty. Hope you have something better next week. - James Melancon Wed, 27 Jul 2011 12:35:15 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/8725-ctrlc#comment-20255 Should we be surprised that some life-long politicians are too lazy to be creative, or, apparently to aspire to the ethics of reputable journalists? - TomDerveloyJr Wed, 27 Jul 2011 08:31:43 +0100
