WCNC catches up to a meme we probed last fall — public employees using official computers and bandwidth to make edits on Wikipedia.

The report leads with the Herman’s Hermits item we mentioned and the John Edwards “liberal bastard” bit. Yet Meck Deck was never mentioned. I point this out to not because I’m particularly hacked off about the oversight, but to document yet another case of original reporting by a blog going uncredited by the mainstream media.

To hear some news industry status quo folks talk, this never happens and all bloggers leech all their info off of TV and newspapers. Not true.
