Striking Writer Robbed: A Wizbang Editorial (Wizbang Pop!)

A writer by the name of Pamie Ribon took the time to post a letter on her site from a friend and former staff writer for The Ellen Show. Perezhilton then took that letter and posted it on his site in an attempt to appear as though he 'knows someone'. The shitty part is that Perez does 'know someone'. He knows the person who original posted the letter and she knows him.

Pointing out that PerezHilton steals his material would be like watching Carlos Mencia do stand up and thinking "I think I've heard a comedian say that before." Most entertainment blogs gank stories from other sites. Most of us don't have non stop contacts that the Page Sixers and Rush & Molloy have. That's why we graciously put the link to our SOURCE at the bottom of each story, if not right smack in the middle of the story. Perez has never done this. It's always ticked me off that someone could throw their logo all over a photo so that if it got reposted elsewhere the world would know PerezHilton stole this photo just before I stole it from him. Nerd.

Anyway, Pamie... for what I'm paid from Wizbang it's like I'm striking in solidarity. So I got your back babe.
