The Daily Caller, Gongwer News Service and The Washington Free Beacon have exposed several examples of plagiarism in a “report” about the Mackinac Center put out by a union front group called Progress Michigan, as well as attempts by the group to cover it up.
“This calls into question the veracity of the entire report and the credibility of Progress Michigan,” Center spokesman Ted O’Neil told The Daily Caller.
Marketing and Communications Team Leader Dan Armstrong told The Washington Free Beacon that “The Mackinac Center holds its research to a high standard and encourages rigorous critique of it,” but that “plagiarism is a serious offense and should never be considered credible.”
