Today, one of the top news organizations in the country, brought attention to a notice posted on April 1st (2008) which announced that Bill Plaschke - a journalist at the Los Angeles Times - got the nod for sports-column writing.
Apparently, Plaschke finished ahead of "The Oregonian's" John Canzano, the "Boston Globe's" Dan Shaughnessy, the "Kansas City Star's" Jason Whitlock and the "Washington Post's" Mike Wise.
On the heels of the acknowledgement, Mr. Plaschke blushed that he was humbled by the "honor".
He should be.
After all - as I reported in a post a couple of days ago - he has a propensity to steal ideas from other writers to fuel his creative engine!
Talk about an embarrassment to the field of sports journalism!
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said,
It has come to be practically a sort of rule in literature, that a man, having once shown himself capable of original writing, is entitled thenceforth to steal from the writings of others at discretion."
