Merced Sun-Star runs plagiarized letter
A letter to the editor that we published Wednesday, “Obama’s speech” submitted by Ron Gardner of Atwater, has been removed from our Web site. The letter was taken almost word for word from a column, “State of the Union: Obama v. Constitution,” by Mark Alexander on the Web site, The Patriot Post.
Letters to the editor should contain the writer’s own thoughts in the writer’s own words. Otherwise, it is plagiarism, which is unacceptable.
