We've Been Plagiarized Again!
The big Western media’s back to plagiarizing The eXile, this time from a most unlikely source: The Economist. Seven weeks after we published an article arguing that the real way to frame Putin’s behavior is within the savage power struggle going on between factions of the siloviki, The Economist put their moronic “Hitler Alert” tales back into their little padded cell, and came out with this suspiciously eXile-esque analysis: "Vladimir Putin did not rig the ballot to win control of parliament, but to assert his power over the Kremlin's warring factions." H'm, ya don't say? Two months late is better than nuthin'...
We expect an apology like The Guardian offered us. And we want cash. Like, now.
