Coulter Syndicator to Respond to Plagiarism Allegations Next WeekUniversal Press Syndicate, which distributes Ann Coulter’s columns to over 100 newspapers, told AP it was review her work and expected to have a “response” to recent plagiarism allegations next week. That’s good to know; UPS spokeswoman Kathie Kerr has not returned my phone calls or emails since Thursday.
Meanwhile, Coulter’s book publisher, Crown Forum — a division of Random House, itself a division of multinational publishing giant Bertelsmann AG — issued a statement which appears to defend their bestselling author. Crown vice president Steve Ross said the allegations were “as trivial and meritless as they are irresponsible.â
Coulter — who had earlier made vituperative comments in reaction to the charges, but did not deny them — “was not immediately available for comment Friday,” the AP reports.
