Did The Public Record "borrow" from Philly Clout?

You decide.

Philly Clout posted this morning about the possibility of a story in this week's Public Record "borrowing" from Clout's February 18 post. Interestingly enough, when comparing parts of the two articles there is definitely a similarity (similarity meaning word-for-word in this case).

Here's just a small sample of the "borrowing" by The Public Record:

Philly Clout "You would think that John Featherman, the only Republican who has declared a run for mayor this year, would be psyched that nobody else from his party wants to get into the race."

The Public Record "You would think John Featherman, the only Republican who has declared a run for Mayor this year, would be psyched that nobody else from his party wants to get into the race."

Check the full stories out, let us know what you think happened.

No, see, because the Record capitalized the word "Mayor", it's not plagiarism... I guess they figured no one reads this blog, so they could get away with it?
