ARLINGTON, Va. — Politico says a reporter has resigned after editors determined she had plagiarized stories about transportation, most recently from a New York Times article.
Editor-in-chief John F. Harris and executive editor Jim VandeHei said in an online note that the stories by Kendra Marr "borrowed from the work of others, without attribution, in ways which we cannot defend and will not tolerate."

The problem is, it’s somebody else’s BS. LOL!
Much like the average blogger.
Wow. How dumb do you have to be to lift copy from the Slimes?
(I’m referring here to the risk of getting caught, not the probability that the content is bogus)
Products of liberal, humanist, amoral educational persuasion have little to do but copy and parrot what their masters have taught. Poor writer is just another “victim.”
It wasn't anything different than what she did in college and high schoool.

Yeah, she needs to make up her stories like all the other writers at Politico.
Marr’s LinkedIn profile says she joined Politico in August 2009 after two years as a staff writer at The Washington Post. Her Politico bio says the San Francisco native covered financial news for the Post, including the auto industry, and that her work also appeared in the San Jose Mercury News, The Orange County Register and The Miami Herald. Marr graduated from Northwestern in 2007.
The news is weighing hard on Politico executives. Marr was a beloved reporter in the newsroom. Even in their Editor’s note they refer to her as a “friend.” She was conscientious, solid. She wasn’t known to be among Politico‘s rock stars, but as a former reporter for WaPo whose work has appeared in The Orange County Register, San Jose Mercury News and The Miami Herald, she had a bright future. Now, we’re told, her career in Washington journalism is effectively over.

Politico - All the News We Fit to Print
Ah, who cares! Most everyone who reads this trip does not believe it anyway. Are we to really care where he/she got their information? We all know that most of it is false anyway....
Guilty, your honor
And amazingly, some people will still believe what they read on Politico.
Fascinating. The WaPo might want to review her work for them.
The dope didn’t learn to just make stuff up and throw it on the page like every other Washington propagandist? What a nitwit. Send her off to the Julius Streicher school of seig heil Journalism for remedial training.
