White Privilege: Shaun King (#BlackLivesMatter)Plagiarizes Article, Editor Gets Fired
FrontPageMag ^ | 4-19-2016 | David Greenfield

Shaun King, the Black Lives Matter version of Rachel Dolezal who claims unconvincingly to be black, got a gig with the New York Daily News to rant about white privilege. The Daily News these days is like the Daily Mail but with even less class.

But apparently they have editors. The chief function of these editors is to get fired when they can't stop the crazy abuses of News star talent like Shaun King.

Shaun King, the controversial columnist of The New York Daily News, has been accused of plagiarism. The alleged stealing of sources was discovered by The Daily Beast, whose senior editor, Justin Miller, sent a tweet with a link to a story from his publication next to a Daily News column link by King. Both stories were about an African-American who died in prison, allegedly because the jail was ill-equipped to handle the man’s mental illness.

The column by King had two paragraphs that were identical, word-for-word, with what appeared in The Daily Beast piece, written by Kate Briquelet. King’s piece even included a typographical error that was also in Briquelet’s original piece. But as originally published, the piece by King did not offer attribution to Briquelet, and so gave the appearance of being King’s own original writing.

Plagiarizing is a liberal resume builder. He has a Democrat political future.

And Joe Biden is Vice President. Plagiarism seems to be a resume enhancement.

Good.
King gave attribution and the editor removed it.

“How is a journalist so often quoting other journalists? How lazy is he?”

Journalism as a profession has been dead for some time. Today there are only propagandists.

When the New York Daily Worker News fires you, you must be a real pos.

If the allegation is true, the editor was rightly fired.
