The Moonie Times' High Journalistic Standards

The Moonie Times' response to "LottO'Hate" is quiet interesting. First, Moonman Greg Pierce rewrites the Lott quote to make Lott look like even more of a racist prick:

At the party for the retiring Sen. Strom Thurmond, Mr. Lott said that "the United States would have been better off had Strom Thurmond won his 1948 presidential campaign."

Of course, that is the clear meaning of Lott's quote, but not the actual words he used. So the Times undercuts Lott's "poor choice of words" lie... er ... defense.

Pierce then proceeds to lift entire portions of the AP write-up on Lott without attribution.
