A serious part of it was also nearly word-for-word read on the air. This was brought to my attention almost immediately by people commenting on the forum, and confirmed by multiple people who claim to have heard it "on air." I have personally verified this; while the original source for my Ticker (which I cited and linked) was linked the majority of the commentary he quoted didn't come from that story. Specifically, my commentary about how sales tax on new vehicles sales is computed. Those sounded like "golden" original words - they weren't.<< >>I am flattered that one of the bastions of Conservative Talk Radio apparently has The Market Ticker on his (or his staff's) personal RSS feed, seeing as the comment was made on-air just a short time after it was posted. Nonetheless, journalistic integrity demands that when you're going to use something that another person has written wholesale (or so nearly so as to be linguistically indistinguishable) you attribute where you got it from.<< <a href="http://market-ticker.denninger.net/archives/1376-A-Shout-Out-To-The-National-Talk-Shows.html" target="_blank">http://market-ticker.denninger...ows.html</a> (He doesn't identify the miscreant in the article, but it's all over the comments page.)

With all the zillion-bajillion bucks this guy is being paid to spout off his crap, he really needs to resort to quasi-"expert" bloggers like Denninger for his "facts"? He can't pay his own experts? What a putz.
