NJ Mimics Politico Story and Headline

At 1:06 p.m. Politico broke the story on the aide to RNC Chairman Michael Steele who quit and then lambasted him. At 2:58 p.m. NJ wrote practically the same story and slapped on a nearly identical headline as Politico. There was no mention of Politico‘s previous story.

Sure, there are subtle differences. Politico says the aide wrote a four-page letter to Steele; NJ says it was a five-pager. At 1:46 p.m. TPM cites Politico and says it was four pages.
