AP SAYS IT DIDN’T PLAGIARIZE but relied on interest groups: “The article written by the AP, ‘Security Clearance Rules May Impede Gays,’ attributed its information to gay rights groups, who happened to be wrong and who received their information from Raw Story.”

Yes, but it’s okay when Certified Professional JournalistsTM do it.
