Blogger Doug Ross points to time-stamp evidence that McClatchy reporter William Douglas’ article referenced a blog post that hadn’t even been posted yet:

But the Huffington Post’s article, by Sam Stein, wasn’t published until 4:56pm, five minutes after Douglas’ article was posted on the web. This mistake would seem to point to wanton collusion between the two authors as they hastily worked to market the smears.

Why is this not surprising. They’re on the same team, after all.
