The vast majority of the instances seem to be a sentence or paragraph from an AP article, usually just a factoid. CNN also doesn’t offer much context as to what led into the item quoted. It’s not like she was cribbing whole speeches from foreign politicians or something like that.
hot air tilted left about a year-and-a-half ago. I don’t know why
she would ever write anything without footnotes and sources.
= = =
Maybe she did footnotes and sources.
But the incompetents at the publishers never heard of such things, being all used to 140 character texts, and all ...
Apparently she quoted things without attribution, which is what has them all butthurt. This:
In one instance, Crowley lists a variety of so-called “pork” items she claimed were part of the 2009 stimulus package. Many of the instances were copied wholesale from a conservative list of pork barrel spending, with some items dating back to the 1990s. Most of the copied instances were listed on a website for a podiatrist dating back to 2004.
Remember Buzzfeed is an offspring of Politico and like Politico a left-wing site.
Fake news, never to be trusted, ever ever ever.
In addition, Monica is obviously Not Guilty.
NEWBIE here but did you read the original report? It is a bit more than the couple of things you posted. And I am a big fan of hers. No, I’m not going to DU whatever that is.
She definitely copied “the” and “were” from well known published works.
OMG throw her in prison. This is ridiculous
Exactly
Any Trump choice that has published anything at all will “outed” for claimed plagiarism. I hope Trump simply ignores it all or snorts “political hit” and continues on with the appointments. IOf they get Crowley with this they will go at ALL his appointments with the same charges.
Never Trumpers of the Salem Media Group. The same group as RedState.
Sounds a bit like she did her homework, and then cited what she found.
Some authors go to more original sources, others less original. But both types of authors do research, gather data, and present *THAT* data, to weave the narrative of their work.
That should not be viewed as sinister, unless one is a lefty attacking a conservative.
Crowley should speak up soon. What if she paid a ghostwriter to help write the book and it was he who did the dirty deed?
I think the best thing for her is to ignore this bs and this shows how smart she is.
After I read that, I went right to the cold shower.
As a writer, I can tell you, plagiarism is a hanging offense. It’s theft.
If this is true, I will be very surprised. I’d expect Monica to know better. I wouldn’t want to see her automatically disqualified, but I think an explanation is in order.
She plagiarized facts.
But the sources didn’t source their facts either.
Oh, you mean Miltromley.
so, lying is ok but copying is not
presstituutes are Ameritrash
