Halburn Plagiarizes Carmichael Response

Fat bag of dicks literally steals from the Gazette. Again.

Once again, Mark Vance Halburn has blatantly plagiarized another newspaper article from the Charleston Gazette-Mail.
This time it is a response from Senate President Mitch Carmichael to an AFL-CIO authored op-ed that ran in the paper on  March 21st.

And in plagiarizing it from the Gazette, Halburn eliminated the context in the first paragraph because he had to conceal what Carmichael was writing in response to. He removed the hyperlink as well as the title of that story.

It's not like it was a general letter to the editor that Halburn could steal and then pass off that it was sent to his blog. It was a direct response to an op-ed that ran only in the Gazette.

There is no way in the world that the President of the West Virginia Senate would  send that article to him as a letter to the editor responding to an op-ed in the Gazette. What would be the point of that?

Halburn is a guy who has never missed an opportunity to bully, threaten, harass, and jam a camera in the face of a person who has the misfortune of representing the district where Halburn's fake blog is based. When it comes time to clear the air, that's certainly not going to be the first place Carmichael runs to get the message out.

Halburn ends the stolen article with a "Publisher's note" which reads in part, "The columnist’s expressed opinions and information provided are his own..."
They weren't provided, you dipshit. You stole them.

Halburn continues to demonstrate 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. 

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.
