It looks very much like it. Salon and Spinsanity have the goods. Here’s the relevant extract:
A list of 48 dubious achievements of President Bush appears in Michael Moore’s bestselling “Stupid White Men,” without footnotes or citations of any kind. A reader might assume that they are accumulated nuggets from Moore’s own research. But a San Francisco activist says she came up with the list, and she’s not too happy about the way Moore is using it. Kirsten Selberg contacted Spinsanity following a piece detailing the numerous errors and factual distortions in “Stupid White Men” to say she compiled that list for a wall that was displayed at the “Voters March West” that took place nearly a year ago in San Francisco, on May 19. Still posted on the Voters March Web site, Selberg’s list contains 47 of the 48 facts about Bush mentioned in Moore’s book — in the exactly the same order and with very similar wording. The only difference is that, unlike Moore, Selberg provides sources for almost all of her facts. Representatives for Moore did not respond to requests for comment.
Recall that the Boston Globe suspended conservative columnist Jeff Jacoby for similar Internet copying. Any chance that the media will apply the same standards to a liberal?
