As you’ll recall on Friday, I posted an exclusive report about the bomb found in the McNamara Federal Building in Detroit. I exclusively reported and BROKE the story here on Friday that the bomb was brought into the federal building by the private security firm guards on February 26th and sat there for 20 days until somebody finally decided to screen it, this past Friday.  None of the other Detroit media outlets had a clue and didn’t report any of this. . .  until last night when pro-Muslim, liberal, self-hating Jewish reporter Simon Shaykhet stole every single specific detail from my site and claimed he “broke the story.”

FOX 2 News & Simon Shaykhet Plagiarizing (& Islamo-Pandering) For You

On his twitter account, Shaykhet tweeted that he was “working” on a “huge story,” when the “work” was actually mine and he simply read it from this site.  In his story he cited no sources, didn’t give me credit, and simply ripped off every single specific detail I reported.  We know that Shaykhet reads my site, and in fact, he also did an Islamo-pandering report against me and my site when his friends at the HAMAS unindicted co-conspirator CAIR Action Network sued me.  Shaykhet follows few people on twitter and only one religious “leader,” imam Dawud Walid a/k/a Delano Anthony Willis, Jr., the convicted criminal who serves as HAMAS’ CAIR Action Network’s Michigan chief.  When he did the biased report against me, Shaykhet included far more airtime for Walid/Willis Jr. and far less for me.  His questions were already loaded against me, as they have been when he has interviewed local rabbis and Jewish leaders during Israeli wars in response to Muslim attacks.  He bends over backward to kiss the butts of the most extremist of Muslims. And it’s no coincidence that a Muslim extremist from a group the US government confirmed raised money for HAMAS is the only religious person or group Shaykhet is following.

Now Simon Shaykhet has blatantly stolen from me.  He knows it and I know it.  And now FOX 2 News, which is owned and operated by FOX News Channel and its parent company News Corp, knows it.  It’s not the first time the newscast has outright ripped off from me without credit.  A couple of years ago or so, when terrorist supporting Muslim Muthanna Al-Hanooti was indicted for working for Saddam Hussein through a charity, FOX 2 News admitted they stole an exclusive photo I had of Hanooti.  The newscast never gave a credit to me or my site and instead had its BS artist general manager, Jeff Murri, call me and give he a half-assed, worthless apology and a promise it would never happen again.  Well, last night it happened again. FOX 2 News stole from me yet again.

But plagiarists have a comfy home at the FOX 2 News operation.  The newscast recently hired Charlie LeDuff, a former New York Times reporter who was caught in multiple instances of plagiarism (at two different newspapers), but keeps getting hired because he plays on his minority status and faux-folksiness.  So, Simon Shaykhet has a kindred spirit in thievery.

This is also the same news operation that let reporter Fanchon Stinger continue as anchor after she did a half-hour pandering, live apologist interview with Louis Farrakhan, while she was sleeping with his married Detroit representative, Rayford Jackson, and after she helped Jackson money-launder campaign contributions to the Bush-Cheney 2004 campaign, both journalistic no-nos.  Jackson is now in federal prison doing time for bribing public officials  to vote for a sludge contract, a contract for which Stinger did public relations and accepted money, while she was covering this story–another fundamental violation of the ethics required for journalists.  I broke the story about the campaign contributions and the Nation of Islam conflict of interest.  I also interviewed Rayford Jackson and asked the questions FOX 2 News would not (watch the video).

FOX 2 News reporters and anchors regularly host banquets and other events for the openly pro-HAMAS, pro-Hezbollah American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee and its “former” terrorist leader, Imad Hamad. Again, another blatant display of no journalistic integrity and a lot of bias. Trust me, they ain’t hosting any pro-Israel events. One FOX 2 News reporter told me the reporters are forced to host these events, asked and required by the station. When I asked general manager Jeff Murri about this a few years ago, he confirmed that he requires this and wouldn’t stop because, “it’s community service.” Uh-huh. So is providing MCs for Klan meetings. Same difference.

I was told this morning by FOX 2 News anchor Huel Perkins, who is the face of FOX 2 News and generally a class act, that he would raise this issue at a meeting, but let’s see if he does anything.  Below is the e-mail I received from him, but it was very non-committal:

Debbie,

I’ll bring it up in the meeting.  I had no idea.  Thanks.

Huel

In the meantime, please write to Simon Shaykhet and let him know what a scumbag he is.  His e-mail address is Simon.Shaykhet@FoxTV.com.  You can also write Huel Perkins, whose e-mail address is posted above.

FOX 2 News’ slogan is, “FOX 2 News . . . Working For You.”  More like, “FOX 2 News . . . Stealing From You.”
