[quote=Anonymous]Also, those highlights are identical. Yes, you would want to highlight the same stuff, but managing to highlight pixel by pixel exactly the same, in multiple screenshots? That is unlikely. I suspect what happened is that Brennan gathered all the evidence in one place and in that pile, included some of the kidneygate screenshots, and used them in assembling her story, but didn't attribute them, probably by mistake. Brennan has since replaced the identical images with her own.

Anyhow I think overall how kidneygate handled it was wrong. Kidneygate didn't need to "blast" anyone, just point out gently that the images are the same with a single Tweet linking the identical images and asking for image attribution. I think kidneygate's response was a bit overblown as Brennan clearly did extensive research, and kidneygate seems to be implying that all of the research drew from kidneygate, which is obviously incorrect. But I also think Brennan isn't without fault here, and it would have done Brennan no harm to thank the kidneygate account and to attribute the images. Brennan was also wrong for the exploitative photo from the hospital and the vague post about kidneygate to begin with. She is going through a brutally hard time right now and should be forgiven, but that does not mean she didn't make a mistake.[/quote]
