The New York Times has alleged that Montana Democrat Sen. John Walsh plagiarized “at least” one-quarter of a 2007 thesis he turned in to earn a master’s degree from the United States Army War College. Serious allegations, right?
For Blake Hounshell of Politico, the first order of business was to provide spin and maybe a talking point for his MSM colleagues and Walsh’s fellow Dems:
Remember that time plagiarism accusations ruined Rand Paul's career?

@blakehounshell Quoting the NYT regarding Rand Paul: "Mr. Walsh appears to have gone considerably further."
