NEW YORK — The New York Times is looking into the work of one its reporters following accusations that he plagiarized from The Wall Street Journal and other sources.
The newspaper published an editor's note online Sunday and in papers Monday that said reporter Zachery Kouwe "appears to have improperly appropriated wording and passages published by other news organizations."
The Times said Journal editors pointed out similarities between a Journal story from Feb. 5 and Times pieces later that day and on Feb. 6. The Times said that a search found similar examples taken from media outlets such as Reuters and that an investigation was ongoing.
Kouwe declined to comment on Tuesday.
The Journal's letter listed six examples from a story about Wall Street swindler Bernard Madoff's relatives.

It seems the lame-stream media has a lot of trouble with their “writers”. Plagiarism, lying, bias and personal attacks. Ben Franklin must be spinning...
Liberals are lazy...............physically and intellectually..............
“one its reporters”?
How about half the slimes that work there?
If you believe ANYTHING coming out of the N.Y.Times, I have some property about 30 miles east of here I’d like to talk to you about selling ya.

another 1 bite the dust...
He’s just like all the other urinalists:
“What’s the problem? I reprint the DNC press releases verbatim like they were news, and I copy and paste any old story I see, and take credit for it. All my colleagues do it, why ya picking on me?”
You have to wonder if he had done this before, and they “somehow” overlooked it. He didn’t go straight from J-school to the Times. Did none of his other employers notice this? Or did he not start plagiarizing until he got to the Times news room, which must have toxic, plagiarism-inducing gas pumped into it?
LOL, must be hard now days to write articles blaming Bush...
Gee, he could have just provided WSJ links and avoided all this ... ;o)
The irony of the whole thing is he was using the WSJ for his sources and probably the only stories with an element of truth in them.
This from a paper that does nothing but parrot DNC press releases, verbatim.

You are right.
Ping to you, nutmeg.
No doubt applying for a new position at the Obama White House...
