Huffington Post Contributor Hijacks Alternative Weekly Column Name

After the controversy over Maureen Dowd playing copycat with one of outstanding liberal blogger Josh Marshall's articles, the Huffington Post has now allowed one of its contributors, Carolynn Carreno, to steal the name of a column by Orange County Weekly and L.A. Weekly columnist Gustavo Arellano, "Ask a Mexican." You would think that Arianna's crew would be more careful, but I guess not.

Arellano's work, which can be found here, seeks to clear up misconceptions and stereotypes about Mexico and Mexican immigrants.

Carreno's is apparently a cooking column, which can be found here, thereby trivializing the work that Arellano is doing.

I wrote a comment about it at HuffPo, but, of course, it was censored.

Considering that the number two in charge at HuffPo is former RIAA lobbyist Hillary Rosen, you would think a little piracy would outrage her. Not in this case, though. Hypocrite.
