Syndicator Dismisses Allegations That Pundit Ann Coulter Lifted Material From Other Sources
By HILLEL ITALIE AP National Writer
NEW YORK Jul 10, 2006 (AP)— The syndicator of Ann Coulter's newspaper columns rejected allegations that she had lifted material from other sources, saying a review of the work in question turned up nothing that merited concern.
"There are only so many ways you can rewrite a fact and minimal matching text is not plagiarism," Lee Salem, editor and president of Universal Press Syndicate, said Monday in a statement.
"Universal Press Syndicate is confident in the ability of Ms. Coulter, an attorney and frequent media target, to know when to make attribution and when not to."
