Re : Post #15 "Cnn has a confirmed plagiarizer who has his own show Fareed Zakaria." If Monica did indeed plagiarize without citing her sources, that was possibly nothing more than her use of 'artistic license'. I give her the benefit of my doubts. On the flipside, the other Monica was a virtuous woman? HMMM...

Correct, but to be fair, Zakaria only plagiarized a very small portion of his work. Given the limited scope, sloppiness may have contributed rather than deliberate theft. The vast bulk of his writing is original idiocy. On the other hand Doris Kearns Goodwin, the establishment’s favorite historian and apologist lifted almost a third of a book from other, uncited, sources.

In both cases the left circled the wagons. For Zakaria, the minor humiliation he suffered was appropriate. Goodwin got off way too easy. She stole a major portion of her work from another author and passed it off as quotation and editing errors. The left establishment bent over backwards to rehabilitate her as soon as possible.

Crowley’alleged offense, if shown to be more likely to be sloppiness akin to Zakaria, I would be inclined to forgive. However if she took substantive ideas and passed them off as her own, she probably needs to go.

What did he plagiarize? This is the first I’m hearing of it.

Zakaria got the whole election wrong. He said, “Donald Trump will lose and will destroy the Republican Party.” I can’t recall the exact quote, but that’s essentially what he said if not word for word.
