The progress of plagiarism …

… Chris Hedges is a Pulitzer Winner, a Lefty Hero, & a Plagiarist. | New Republic. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

The plagiarism at Harper’s was not an isolated incident. Hedges has a history of lifting material from other writers that goes back at least to his first book, War Is A Force That Gives Us Meaning, published in 2002. He has echoed language from Nation authorsauthors Naomi Klein. He has lifted lines from radical social critic Neil Postman. He has even purloined lines from Ernest Hemingway.
