Rafael Ramos, periodista d’aspecte mandrós, estúpid, i plagiari, ho fa altra vegada. No, senyor Ramos, Kennedy va dir “Ich bin ein Berliner.” I el defensor del lector, Josep Maria Casasús? Sembla que encara no ha acabat la seva “investigació”…
It sounds like Josep Maria Casasús, alleged ombudsman for La Vanguardia, is going around telling folks that I’m an American secret agent for asking him four months ago to do something about the paper’s plagiarising, fictionalising, semi-literate London correspondent, Rafael Ramos. John Chappell – who bravely reads the paper on Sunday – has the details…
Please ignore this if you believe that it doesn’t matter if a reputable newspaper publishes contributions by a journalist apparently prone to plagiarism, invention, and illiteracy. Otherwise it’s curtains up on the latest episode in the saga of the scribbler (Rafael Ramos), the ombudsman (Josep Maria Casasús), and their publisher (La Vanguardia). (You will find…
A couple of things I can’t work out this morning: Why Spanish people make such a big deal out of John Ashcroft when, according to the system here, judge Baltasar Garzón is able to say to a suspect: go to gaol, forget talking to your lawyer, don’t even dream of any kind of legal hearing,…
Josep Maria Casasús, the La Vanguardia ombudsman to whom I complained almost four months ago re Rafael Ramos, wrote back last Friday, telling me that the information provided in the electronic address – that’s the 80s term for URL – was insufficient to reach a conclusion of plagiarism.

Something’s happening as a consequence of Wednesday’s missive from La Vanguardia’s ombudsman, Josep Maria Casasús re my original Rafael Ramos post, but I’m not sure exactly what: either they really are going after him, or they’re going to try to discredit me; given that they don’t seem to have done anything in three months, I…
Dat is echt hoe dit stukje suburban sprawl heet, maar het ligt in Catalunya, niet Flevoland. Trouwens, kan iemand mij uitleggen waarom Turbotaz als een gek Kaleboel aandelen aan het kopen is? Als ze Rafael Ramos eruit schoppen, zal de prijs inderdaad omhoog gaan, of heeft-ie een andere strategie? Hij gaat me toch niet dumpen?!…
Those of you with a memory longer than those interesting socks your boss is wearing this morning may remember that I pointed out in May that Rafael Ramos, La Vanguardia’s correspondent in London, appeared to be semi-literate, prone to invention, and a plagiarist. When I complained to the paper’s ombudsman, Josep Maria Casasús, he emailed…
John Chappell picks up on the Vanguardia “exclusive” from June/July re alleged mysterious shadows on the fuselage of the second WTC plane (English version here). Unlike professional conspiracy theorists, La Vanguardia make no attempt to appear credible: Where are the images on which their conclusions are based? Who is the nameless digital imaging expert at…
