Monkey quotes hackles
At last, a response to the plagiarism of Sarah "Scoop" Womack...
Sadly, not from her paper, the Daily Telegraph. But it's some consolation to see the Guardian's Media Monkey pitching in to help spread the news of the double standards operating at the Telegraph.
Take note of the effort Monkey makes to find a few original phrases. See, too, the essential ingredient that distinguishes plagiarism from scholarship - a full and accurate name check and credit to Les Hack and this hackles site. A gentlemonkey and a scholar.

Good luck getting a reply - newspapers can dish it out but very rarely (Guardian Readers Editor an exception), can they take it.
The standards they expect of others are often lacking.
My favourite recent example (I am sure you have plenty) is the ludicrous 'Home by May' headline in the IoS a few weeks ago, referring to troops in Iraq. Had the distinction of being overtly criticised as being 'wrong' by the BBC in their equally ludicrous 'review' of the papers, that Sunday.
The smug and supine IoS 'Reader's Editor' (actually the Deputy Editor doing a bit on the side) doesn't want to know.
