The Huffington Post is notorious for presenting other people's work as their own, and Rachel Weiner is apparently trying to take credit for this particular story.
HuffPo writer ("xeroxer" might be better) Rachel Weiner didn't get around to this story until almost 24 hours later, after it had already been all over the blogosphere. When she finally did get around to it, she merely linked to someone else's commentary instead of properly attributing the story.
Welllll... guess what. It happened again! Tonight on NBC News. The video is up at:

I posted a comment on Lester Holt's blog, and below that your clip from Hancock, and your URL of course. Here's what I said to NBC:
Mr. Holt:
Another issue concerning tonight's broadcast, if I may.
Not long ago, the NY Times revealed that the Dubya administration had recruited and planted ex-military officers in order to surreptitiously spread propaganda about the Iraq war. If I remember correctly, NBC News was involved in that scandal, but didn't have much to say about the article.
Tonight, the item "Taking a second look at nuclear power" featured a fellow named Patrick Moore. There are some important facts about him that NBC didn't reveal. And by the way, isn't GE a big player in the nuclear power biz? Anyway, fortunately I subscribe to the Center for Media & Democracy's "Weekly Spin" email newsletter. So I will attach an item from this week's, below, and hope that whoever reviews this comment will forgive the included link. PLEASE, Mr. Holt, speaking of your boss, please pass this along to him. Thanks.

Dole's Helms AIDS bill amendment has stirred up a furor in the gay community, and the story was broken in Atomic Gay Wonk on Tuesday, July 15, at http://atomicgaywonk.blogspot.com/2008/07/obscene-dole-tries-to-name-aids-bill.html and cross-posted on Kos also Tuesday at http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/7/15/17018/5859

Shame on the Army for stealing ,,,
idea's born in Seattle-1999
Perhaps it's our own fault
for NOT realizing
our greatest strength...
ART & CULTURE , to deliver a message...!
--- I'm not complaining about the people
who kept-on creating it ....
( hero's as far as I'm concerned )
I'm just saying
did we forget about our root's...?
--- no wounder the Army turned to this tactic
( and why,
it's working so very well for them )
--------- ted...
>>> I'm in Victoria BC ( canada )
and I've noticed a trend ,
it's been building up from 9-11
------- Fear -------------
in the 1960's ,
kid's were kicked out of school
for wearing "blue-jeans".
today ...?
it's messages on the internet ...!
( or it's the people they hang-out with )
--- Fear
check-out the over-all Army message
" if we don't learn to protect ourselves
they are going to get us " ...!
From the video games "THEY PICKED"
to the music they chose.
FEAR IS THE major MOTIVATION ...!
;{
but ,
is comedy & parody "healthier" ...?
