My daughter had a college textbook that warned about plagiarism. It cited Biden as an example.
Did you see the link to the article at CNN Money? The Milton Friedman passage is but one of fifty or so examples and it is one of the shortest and tamest. I am waiting for Monica’s explanation. Maybe it’s a good one.
It is total crap. Just because two people cite the same article or document does mean there is any plagiarism. That was most of the “items”. Other items came from government sources. One is not required to cite those sources, they are public domain. Because more than one commentator uses the same verbiage from a government source with some minor changes to make their point, does not mean that they are plagiarizing each other.
From Paul Johnson’s “In Praise of Richard Nixon,” Commentary, October 1988:
“There was none of the personal corruption which had marked the rule of Lyndon Johnson, let alone the gross immoralities and security risks of John F. Kennedy’s White House.”
From Crowley’s “The Day Nixon Said Goodbye,” Wall Street Journal, August 9, 1999:
“There was none of the personal corruption that had marked the rule of Lyndon Johnson or the base immoralities and outrageous security risks of the Kennedy and Clinton White Houses.”
Johnson: “Nixon … consistently underestimated the unscrupulousness of his media enemies and their willingness to sacrifice the national interest in the pursuit of their institutional vendetta.”
Crowley: “Nixon, though always suspicious of his political enemies, consistently underestimated their ruthlessness and willingness to sacrifice the national interest in the pursuit of their institutional vendetta.”

couldnt it be said anyone on the left has been basically plaugerizing K.Marx for 100 years? They sure have not had a actual new idea in that time span——all they have spit out is create victims and spend other peoples money-—Marx originals.
I remember a high school lecture on plagiarism that specifically told us not to do that.
Is that anything as bad as stealing hundreds of million$ of taxpayer money
Why should it be a problem considering the fact that Uncle Joe Biden is sitting as President of the Senate?
Not likely to see you here again soon

If you can't even bother to tell us why that is bad for the average American citizen, you got nothing...
Did the podiatrist file a complaint?
So why are you so outraged?
Yeah, well big whoop!
The RATagandists have a yuge "truth-deficit" problem.
Psychobabble.
Speak for yourself.
There is nothing there, leftie, commie or anyone else.
If that is the best of what pissses you off, don't bother.
“As a citizen, a taxpayer and an American, how did that affect you?
Not likely to see you here again soon”
Not 100% sure what you mean. As a citizen, taxpayer and an American I feel like crap because I like Monica and I want her in that position. As I have posted repeatedly on this thread I hope there is a good explanation or she stands up and owns it.
What is it that you mean by “not likely to see you here again soon”?
Democrats are angry and hopeless, and they will be pulling their hair out for the next 4 years, and age ungracefully and die young, if they can’t get over losing the election.
Hmmm... sounds like the next 4-8 years are going to be entertaining for republicans.
Disagree.
When the SJWs and far lefties are attacking, never give up, never apologize, never resign. They’re in the business of merciless destruction.

The blame here is NOT on Monica. If there is, in fact, plagiarism issues, it’s all on the back of Harper Collins.
I don’t think this should stop Crowley from getting a job in the new administration. But it is weird that she does seem to have a problem with plagiarism. It not only happened with her book in 2012, but she was also found to have plagiarized parts of a Wall Street Journal editorial she wrote back in 1999. You would think she would have learned from this.
“It is hard to believe — with internet searching, it is impossible to get away with plagiarism.”
With Internet searching, it is nearly impossible to write something original.
How many ways are there to say, “Higher minimum wages hurt the poor” or “Countries with the highest taxes have the largest gaps between rich and poor”?
Whatever you write, somebody else has written it before.
From the CNN Money article:
In the book, Crowley lifted an entire section on Keynesian economics from the IAC-owned website Investopedia.They only linked to the Investopedia archived text. The article in question began with:
The Keynesian multiplier was introduced by Richard Kahn in the 1930s. It showed that any government spending brought about cycles of spending that increased employment and prosperity regardless of the form of the spending. For example, a $100 million government project, whether to build a dam or dig and refill a giant hole, might pay $50 million in pure labor costs. The workers then take that $50 million and, minus the average saving rate, spend it at various businesses. These businesses now have more money to hire more people to make more products, leading to another round of spending. This idea was at the core of the New Deal and the growth of the welfare state.Don't you see that Monica Crowley provided a statement attributed to its author, Richard Kahn. Therefore, it was not a plagiarism of, Andrew Beattie.
Did you even read the article at the link I provided?
I say again, until I get access to a LexisNexis platform to search for every instance of the 52 so called Monica Crowley plagiarisms for every possible occurrence in the the years before her book was published, I totally disregard with extreme disdain this attempt to disparage a brilliant conservative in an attempt to harm Donald Trump's administration.
