Newsweek really jumped the shark Thursday when they claimed that Ivanka Trump “plagiarize[d] one of her own speeches” during her trip to India.
Newsweek bashed Ivanka for reusing lines from some of her old speeches. Of course, that’s not plagiarism, as plagiarism requires the words or ideas be taken from someone else.
Recycling speeches and parts of speeches is pretty standard for people who have a lot of speaking engagements.
“Several lines the 36-year-old delivered Tuesday had been directly pulled from her poorly attended November 2 speech in Tokyo, where she attended the World Assembly for Women alongside Japanese President Shinzo Abe,” Newsweek writer Chris Riotta snarked.
Riotta admitted that its common practice to reuse pieces of speeches, but argued that Ivanka proved she had nothing “else to say about women’s empowerment” and “show[s] where the first daughter’s focus lies in the White House.”
If you quote yourself or respeak your own phrases...is this some English grammar violation where I need to go to the wood shed?
The media keep digging a deeper and deeper hole....
What was Ivanka Trump’s response to Ivanka Trump using her work without providing full credit? Knowing how the mainstream media operates - I bet Ivanka Trump was OUTRAGED!
What petty twits they make themselves out to be. This is grade school level reporting that belongs in the seedy free newspaper dispensers not Newsweek.
And these publications wonder why they have to down-size.
I was at a Bruce Springsteen concert just a few years ago and you know what he did? He played “Born to Run”! OMG! He played that song before! Back in, I dunno, 1976 or something.
Hillary and Chelsea and PeePee tear down women, they shield rapists, and do not empower them.
Does Newsweek understand the definition of plagiarism?

How petty.
At one time I would write a lot. Looking back at some of what I wrote sometimes years apart but on the same subject I discovered I would use the same word. Did I plagiarize myself or was I just writing what I was thinking?
Ping.
Nope.
These are journalists.
They are below the English language competency level of a third grader and they certainly do not know how to look up and understand the definition of plagiarism or any other term.
Students who cannot make it in any rigorous field of study but are semi-competent in some area of study generally end up in the teachers college.
The washouts from the teachers college land in the school of journalism where competency and intellect are not required.
You can plagiarize your own published books and/or papers. Note I mentioned the term published. Because of copyright issues with the publisher.
Plagiarize yourself you’ll go blind.
Right, this is not possible.
