Lefty Fox News analyst Juan Williams is in hot water after it was discovered that a column hed written for a political insider publication contained plagiarized material.
According to a report by Salon.com, a Feb. 18 piece that Williams wrote for The Hill newspaper copied almost word-for-word from a study by the far-left Center for American Progress on the subject of immigration and Social Security.
Confronted by Salon, Williams blamed his research assistant, a young man who, according to Williams, had submitted the barely altered paragraphs to him for publication in the column:
For the full details of the particular wording, see the Salon link above.
Williams is the second prominent left-of-center journalist to get caught plagiarizing. NewsBusters exposed CNN host Fareed Zakaria for committing plagiarism last August. Like Williams, he also blamed his researcher.
...copied almost word-for-word from a study by the far-left Center for American Progress on the subject of immigration and Social Security.Like Clinton, he blamed an intern.
Haha, what a double entendre that would be for Frank.
“You know what?” (That’s me mocking Juan’s verbal tic: “You know what?”) I hope this is enough to get Juan booted off of FNC.
Good.
Heh, heh, heh-heh-heh... liberals never allow the buck to stop at their desk, looks like Juan had the buck come up from behind...
So Juan’s “excuse” is that he doesn’t write his own stuff? I knew he was an idiot, but that’s a new one. Juan is so stupid I can’t stand to listen to him.
Probably wouldn’t have happened to him if he were a real journalist!!!!!
Joe Biden got in trouble for the same thing.
Now he is the VP.
“Joe Biden got in trouble for the same thing.”
You mean “Ash Tray Joe,” that Joe Biden?
All Juan does when he speaks is memorize the morning Democrat Talking Points, and then spew them endlessly in a loud voice. What’s the difference if he does it with his writing?
So you won't mind if I don't bother to give you a response.
Ayers writes Obama’s screed, and some young punk writes Williams and Williams pockets the cash!!! Dorks. Total Dorks!
WDIM!!?
(Hint: 2016 campaign slogan)
Juan is no brighter than Plugs.
Sorry. He’s the enemy and he’d do nothing to keep you from going into a camp.

Katie Couric was implemented in a plagiarism scandal as well. She pushed her “Katies Notebook” fluff off onto a staffer who copied another’s work word for word. The funniest part is that “Katies Notebook” is supposed to be a “personal, insiteful look at today’s biggest stories.” Katie’s defense was that she farmed these things out to her underlings.
These guys get paid millions of dollars for these columns which they don’t even write.
And not just the libs. George Will has “researchers” that do a lot of his work also.
These guys are the ones who control the public debate. They have columns, they are on TV, and yet they are as isolated and ignorant as a public school dropout.
Any wonder that Obama is president?
Hahaha
