I was not upset so long as it was a selection of top notch
pundits,
economists, and
WSJ writers who were stealing my lines. But now it appears nameless London bankers are also plagiarizing me. Listen to this, from
Doug MacKinnon's piece today:
As for that non-stop media narrative that the economic sky is falling,
a top investment banker I know in London tells me that the media
negativity is creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. Their reporting is
contributing to and indeed fueling, some of the economic downturn.
Could it be any more plain that this unnamed correspondent is copying the many posts I have written on that very topic, culminating in "
Perception and Reality"?
(For those who don't know,
this is a joke. A
long running one. I am not quite that delusional. Close, but not quite.)
