Vexnews in new (another) plagiarism scandal

Vexnews, the financially cash-strapped online spivery news-free website, has become embroiled in another plagiarism controversy.

Popular and respected Australian blog, Broken Left Foot (BLF), has alerted its readership to Vexnews blatantly lifting its content thus invoking a malicious and evil breach of IP and copyright.

BLF writes: “During my google search for the Sarah henderson story, I came across this article on Vexnews with the following image. I thought the picture looked familiar, so I check this post with an image of the current Corangamite MP Darren Cheeseman. We have a match. I took the photo that Vexnews is currently using without my permission. So I ask Andrew Landeryou the following two questions? 1. Are you going to take it down ASAP and apologise? and 2. Can you spell "T-h-i-e-v-i-n-g C-u-n-t"

Vexnews is not new to proven claims of plagiarism.

In June 2007 it was conclusively proven that Vexnews’ predecessor, the Blog of Sleaze (also sometimes known as The Other Cheek) had “… posted this commentary. It includes references to Hizb ut-Tahrir, the Bankstown City Council, and a YouTube vid. Read Landeryou’s article closely. Then go to Neozionoid’s article which was published EARLIER ON THE SAME DAY. Notice any similarities? The one major stand out, among many, is that Landeryou includes every reference cited by Neozionoid, including the YouTube vid. Coincidence? It’s interesting that Landeryou would do a cut and paste of Neozionoid, who in the past has written that he doesn’t consider Landeryou’s blog to be well regarded. Perhaps that explains why and how Landeryou thought he could get away with it, thinking that the two blogs shared different audiences, and thus he would never be found out.”

Further, it was reported that in April 2007, Landeryou was at it again, with an Australian vigilant patriot reporting that: "Andrew Landeryou's rather nasty Melbourne-based, scandal-happy political blog The Other Cheek, needed to make a crude distortion of Juanita Wheeler for a story about a hotly-contested Queensland Greens preselection. So he used this photo, but didn't credit it as he should have under the Creative Commons Attribution Licence (you can use the photo as you like as far as I am concerned, but you have to credit it). Landeryou has now "struck out" twice.”

IP lawyers are altered and alarmed by Vexnews’ frequent contravention of the law. As one lawyer stated: “We’d throw the book at Landeryou, but would be the point? He’d only plagiarize that too!”

Is it something we've said?

Andy likes a good chat, especially it seems on this your 'blog of truth' via a range of different personalities.

However, he will not comment as 'Andy', unlike he has done on GrodsCorp.

Is it something we've said?

“Andy can’t even organise a mass-debate”

The REAL news keeps getting worse for Vexnews, Andrew Landeryou’s floundering new project.

Patriots have previously commented on Vexnews’ failings against a range of independent journalistic and commercial criteria.

Further investigation reveals how serious the situation has become for Vexnews’ shareholders, who in time will become creditors.

On the site, Landeryou has designed a page where the few Vexnews readers can ‘debate’ issues. (It can be found at http://www.vexnews.com/forum.)

TS can reveal that since going live there has been no debate and only 6 of Landeryou’s personalities have registered to participate. (Right click the picture above into a new tab in your browser to read the full details.)

As one commentator told TS “Andy can’t even organise a mass-debate!”

Patriots won’t be surprised by this development.

“…uncovered contracts being awarded without appropriate approvals, falsification of records, conflicts of interest, and possible impropriety"

Not long ago Kathleen Clothier LLB MBA gave an insightful presentation to a conference titled “Non-Profit Governance for the 21^st Century”.

One of the subjects she touched on was Andrew Landeryou.

Andy is a specialist in running non-profit organizations. Remember MUSU, IQ Corp, his blog, amongst others. He is so good at turning profitable businesses into unprofitable ones, it is no wonder that he would feature prominently at a non-profit symposium.

In the presentation Clothier made a number of points. They included:

Adding,

She concluded her interesting presentation with some interesting questions:

Perhaps Team Slanderyou patriots we could help her with her question.

Meanwhile, as these issues remain largely unresolved, Landeryou keeps posting on his Blog of Sleaze. Perhaps, Landeryou should first be posting about MUSU like he promised. Perhaps one of his many personalities would care to run the defence? After all, it’s all irony to Andy.

Costa Rican has multiple personalities

It is not only the Left that has bloggers suffering multiple personalities or Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).

“Darryl Mason, who has hidden behind the names Stan Lorne, Max Dreswell, Sam Lowry, Ferris Fremont, PitchMaster, and Leftie Latte Lover, claims that he is not DM or commenter Tabmow. Those last two are, if Darryl is to be believed, the work of some other lying idiots. Not him.”

The far Right too has one.

Andrew Landeryou suffers from this ailment. His personalities, all but one (Freedom Freddy) share female personalities: Cait, Catter8, his most famous Delia Delegate and now a new one has reared its head – Rita.

TS is especially worried for Landeryou's health. It was not long ago reported that Landeryou suffers various health problems, such as cranial gigantism, antisocial personality disorder (abbreviated APD or ASPD), delusions, and narcissism.

Hopefully, after the election whoever wins will allocate sufficient resources to mental health, and help Landeryou.

Landeryou's chicken fetish

We have previously reported that Landeryou has a fondness for deformed chicken.

His fetish for chicken has again caused public outrage.

TS is especially worried for Landeryou's health. It was not long ago reported that Landeryou suffers various health problems, such as cranial gigantism, antisocial personality disorder (abbreviated APD or ASPD), delusions, and narcissism.

On other matters, we were going to release the new happy snaps of Landeryou enjoying his freedom. But on second thoughts we decided to delay publication - this will drive Andy nuts.
