One of our members passed along an article about the Boston Globe​’s Joan Vennochi​ (or as some like to call her―”Vennochi-O”) who was caught plagiarizing a WBUR article. Of course, Joan was never fired because she gets to play by different rules than everyone else.

A more recent example of Vennochi-O “calling it in” was on display in her recent column (“Labor’s hot rhetoric grows cool without facts.”). In it, she slammed organized labor for not having any FACTS to back up their claims that the Koch-funded Pioneer Institute was publishing biased reports, chalk full of cherry-picked data, to demonize and disparage T employees in order to repeal the Taxpayer Protection Act (aka Pacheco Law) and clear the way to privatize our public transportation system.

We responded to Vennochi-O’s ridiculous column with the FACTS, which were easily available to her since many were printed in her own paper. If you did not see our response, click here to read it, and then feel free to share it.
