Monica Crowley, President-elect Trump's pick for senior director of strategic communications for the National Security Council, appears to have plagiarized numerous sections of her Ph.D. thesis, according to investigations by CNN and Politico.
Politico, in a report published Monday, identified more than a dozen instances of plagiarism in Crowley's Columbia University thesis, "Clearer Than Truth: The Evolution of American Policy Toward the People’s Republic of China Under Truman and Nixon."
On Thursday, CNN's KFile followed up on Politico's report, revealing 40 additional instances of plagiarism in Crowley's thesis, which was submitted in 2000. Her dissertation apparently lifted from scholarly works, the Associated Press, and former secretary of state Henry Kissinger.
Crowley has not responded to requests for comment about the newest investigations into her thesis. She came under fire earlier this week after CNN's KFile revealed she had apparently plagiarized at least 50 sections of her 2012 book, "What The (Bleep) Just Happened?"
This is what it says on page 168 of Crowley's Ph.D. thesis, which can be accessed via the academic database ProQuest:
Mueller found a "rally in support at the beginning of the war and high levels of public support into 1966. By mid-1966, however, support had declined in the wake of such events as infighting among the South Vietnamese and the emergence of vocal criticism of the war during the Fulbright hearings in early 1966. By this time, the public had also come to see that the war would not be over quickly but was instead likely to be a “long, bloody affair.”
The material was copied verbatim from Eric V. Larson's "Casualties and Consensus: The Historical Role of Casualties in Domestic Support for U.S. Military Operations," according to CNN:

I saw an article on this at CTH. I have to go find it!
According to them it’s not “major” because it wasn’t his doctoral thesis.
Poor Lefties...
Ethics apply when nobody is watching.
If true, invoke the Biden rule.
Quite right, if you attribute the quote. I think she failed to properly footnote or otherwise acknowledge that short section in a large thesis. I do not believe that she intentionally did so.
Other Phd’s thesis not available or in government facilities. And notorious charges with not complete ownership:
Letter from a Birmingham Jail [King, Jr.]” - preacher who sinned
Profiles in Courage (JFK)- whore runner
Hope (BJ Clinton) - another bastard
Dreams of his Father (OB) - father ditched him
you are not giving her a pass, but other FReepers are... i have not read her thesis, but i have read her book, which may also have uncited words/work... and she was accused of plagiarism in 1999--article for the WSJ... i do not want her to be guilty... i hope she is not... if she is, just damn...
Sounds like there are people jealous of Monica Crowley.
Thank you. I meant FOX and ending up typing in CNN.
