 Sportswriter fired under plagiarism accusation: 2/ 4/ 2005
BOSTON -- A sportswriter at The Telegram & Gazette of Worcester was fired yesterday after an investigation determined that he had not only plagiarized parts of a recent column from a Sports Illustrated writer, but had borrowed from other writers in the past without proper attribution, the newspaper said.
Powers' column on Jan. 30, and King's column were both about the rise of the Patriots and Eagles after both lost their first games of the 2003 season.
King's column read: "Whatever has been said in the intervening time about the New England players just shrugging their shoulders over Jackson's statement is a bunch of bunk.

But King's knee-jerk, critically unsupported argument is typical for a guy who is nothing more than a glorified blogger.
