Fox News sounds a lot like the New Yorker

1. Fox News rips off The New Yorker
   Maybe it's just fair and balanced imitation. But the magazine's Ryan Lizza didn't necessarily feel flattered Sunday by the clear use of his work without attribution. (@RyanLizza) From the magazine: "Representatives of the Vice-President held a meeting this week with Democratic National Committee staffers. They briefed Biden's aides on arcane but crucial rules that the Vice-President would need to understand if he decides to run, according to a D.N.C. official." Then here's Fox: "A source telling Fox News some of [Biden's] representatives held a meeting this week with Democratic National Committee staffers. They brief Biden's aides on arcane but crucial rules that he'd need to understand if he decides to run." Sheesh, good timing by "Saturday Night Live" to open Saturday with a Fox parody that concluded with a grocery list of factual errors made in the previous hour. (NBC) As I write in the predawn dark, no comment from Fox about its appropriation of Lizza's labors.
