Serial Plagiarist Strikes Again In Putnam County

Many of you read about the horrendous truck accident at the Scott Depot exit the other day.
This publisher would have rushed to the scene to take pictures so I could pat myself on the back again by saying that I don't publish fatal accident photographs out of sensitivity to family and friends of the victim, but unfortunately it happened at 1:30 AM, and my fat ass was sound asleep.
Due to that fact, I'll just have to jerk off to the other fatal accident photos I take but don't publish.

Anyway, since all I could do is regurgitate facts I got somewhere else for my story, I thought I'd print a letter from someone concerning the wreck. There's just one small problem. Nobody sent me a letter. So I had to make one up. And since it's easier to steal something than actually produce something, that's what I did.
Unfortunately the only thing I could find to plagiarize was from an internet forum, wvbroadcasting.net.Here's the text as I printed it:


Cut and paste is amazing. Rearrange the paragraphs and voila! Instant Letter to the Editor. Unfortunately for me, but unknown to most of my "readers", the writer would never, ever send anything to me.

I hope no one notices how obvious it is that I'm so desperate that I'm willing to do or say anything for material. My advertisers have to be idiots.

Many thanks!

=============================================

Once again PutnamLIES.com has uncovered another blatant theft of material by Halburn.
This time it comes from WVBroadcasting.net
His MO was to take text from a thread about a wreck, rearrange it and claim it was a letter sent by a reader.

Look for yourself. All the thieving bastard did was copy the text and rearrange it and try to pass it off as a letter sent to his shitty little "news" site.

Here's the topic on wvbroadcasting.net.

Halburn again demonstrates his lack of ethics and integrity by plagiarizing text and publishing it, and by lying to his "readers" by acting like it was sent to him as a letter.

When contacted for comment by PutnamLIES.com, the writer of the purported letter said the following:

"Not only did I NOT send Hallburn any information concerning an accident on I-64, but I never have and WILL never make contact with him in any way. He stole my post off a popular messageboard and used it as though I sent it to him. Fat chance!

Hallburn's issue with me started when he purchased less than $200 in advertisements on my radio talk show and then called in every day expecting to be placed live on the air under the guise of "reporting Putnam County news", when in fact he was simply milking that $200 into $2000 worth of free advertising. I finally put a stop to this, at which time Hallburn started posting all sorts of fabrications all over the internet. Most websites that he's been involved with have banned him or made so much fun of him that he refuses to go to them anymore. He will stoop to ANY level to promote his website.

To this very day he has worked overtime in a vain attempt to get even with me and many others of whom he's tricked into making believe that he was a legitimate newsman."

So there you have it. Undeniable proof from the alleged letter writer of blatant plagiarism by Putnam County's news loser.
But you better look quick if you want to see it there. He'll remove it and pretend it never existed.

We demand that Halburn publish an admission of plagiarism and apologize to the letter writer.

A practice like this is business at its absolute worst, practiced by an immoral charlatan masquerading as a journalist. Halburn will stoop to the lowest, most vulgar, vile and disgusting ploys to deceive the honest, hard-working citizen. He is the lowest form of scum on the face of the earth.
