We all know Oikotimes isn't exactly a source for well-written, original and reliable news when it comes to Eurovision and all things related but seriously how do they keep getting away with such utter and complete SHIT?!

In the latest 'article' Elizabeth Andreasson speaks to oikotimes.com they have stolen and translated an article wholesale from another site: poplight.se (original article here). Maybe I'm just being pathetic or reactionary but HOW can they get away with that? They spoke to NO ONE. How can they claim to have had ANY contact with Elizabeth? CUNTS CUNTS CUNTS.

APPALLING.

That's impressively bad of them.

Don't let them get away with that

in both articles i see the same name as the interviewer/writer so no prob there

That's what they WANT you to think.

They're not even below stealing ANOTHER SITE'S EDITORS.

*conspiracy nut*

Better get your antivirus ready.

Can someone contact the Swedish site to let them know that oikotimes has "lifted" their article?

I already did this last night. Well, I e-mailed Oikotimes. I got two e-mails back. One from Oikotimes, and one from the writer, Lilian Brunell.

I will post both e-mails here, in following posts. Be afraid!

Oikotimes' E-Mail

This e-mail was probably sent by Fotis Konstantopoulos.
I must say this was VERY VERY RUDE!

Dear friend
you can't be serious

you can't be serious when oikotimes and poplight are working together
you can't be serious when a joint editor is writing in both websites
for both accounts as well
you can't be serious feeling appauling...

I can only laugh with you!
and it will never be you who will decide what justice is and what will
or will not be deleted
I suggest you get a more serious approach to your life
you know some of us work our asses off for this and will not tolerate
comments like yours
we simply ignore them

all the best

Rude bastards.

Lilian Brunell

Lilian Brunell. She was very polite in her e-mail. Let's just say she was nice.

Dear Nick

Thanks for your comment regarding the article about Elisabeth Andreassen.

I just want to clarify why you find the same story at Poplight.com and at Oikotimes.com.

I was the person who did this interview with Elisabeth last Monday as an editor for Oikotimes.
I also contribute with the material (translated into Swedish) for Poplight.com, as we try to help each other as much as possible.
This is clear and open for both media sources and therefore no problem.

Have a nice week and thanks for reading Oikotimes and Poplight.

Kind regards
Lilian Brunell

PS: If you are interested you can listen to the same interview, live in English, at www.radiointernational.tk


She is just polite.

I write for escdaily.com (when I can be bothered) and we got infected with viruses that were later traced back to Oikotimes. They are the epitome of unprofessional journalism.

Lillian Brunell seems to be a lovely woman, and that is how a tactful response is suppose to be sent. Classy.
