Time Magazine suspends Fareed Zakaria

Time Magazine has announced that it will suspend columnist Fareed Zakaria following his admission of plagiraism earlier this afternoon.

"TIME accepts Fareed's apology, but what he did violates our own standards for our columnists, which is that their work must not only be factual but original; their views must not only be their own but their words as well. As a result, we are suspending Fareed's column for a month, pending further review."

CNN, where Zakaria hosts a show, has yet to respond to a request for comment regarding Zakaria's admission of plagiarism.

Earlier this afternoon, Zakaria released a statement in which he admitted to palgiarizing a New Yorker article about the National Rifle Association for his own column about gun laws in the latest issue of Time Magazine.

following his admission of plagiraism earlier this afternoon

Stealing lines from The Communist Manifesto again, was he?

Time Magazine suspends lies publicly that Fareed Zakaria is suspended, knowing full well that they will wait until sufficient time has passed and people forget and he won't suffer any negative consequence to his pay, position or status at Time at all for this fraud.

Er ... what lie?

That's what "suspension" means ...

[VRW Conspirator]

Time has standards?

Yes, if you get caught, then plagerism is bad, otherwise...

[DefeatCorruption]

Oh wow...didn’t know they had standards.

[TASMANIANRED]

plagiraism

They need editors too.

[Brad from Tennessee]

Plagiarism is theft but being a goatherd Fareed may not understand the concept.

TIME’s up.

[Zeppo]

but what he did violates our own standards for our columnists, which is that their work must not only be factual but original; their views must not only be their own but their words as well.

I sincerely doubt Time's recitation of their policy, unless there is a hidden exception (wink, wink) that allows for verbatim repetition of DNC talking points.

[ozzymandus]

They didn’t suspend him for being a communist, anti-American hack, they suspended him for being caught plagarizing another anti-American hack. Not good enough, TIME, I’m still done with your rag.

[SnuffaBolshevik]

"And what about his CNN gig?"

The original article has been updated to say that CNN has also suspended him for an unknown period of time.
