Well-known foreign affairs specialist apologises for error in apparently lifting a paragraph from a New Yorker story

10 August 2012


Time magazine and CNN both suspended journalist Fareed Zakaria on Friday after he was caught plagiarising from the New Yorker in the latest scandal to hit the world of American journalism.

Zakaria, who writes columns for Time and hosts a CNN television show, had written an article for the magazine on the issue of gun control following the recent mass shootings in Colorado. A short version also appeared as a blog post on CNN's website.

However, several blogs, such as conservative media watchdog Newsbusters and the National Review online, spotted similarities between parts of Zakaria's column and a piece on the same topic in an April issue of the The New Yorker.
...

But as media websites picked up the story and asked Time for an official comment, Zakaria issued a statement and confessed to his error.

Personally, I don't really care. Maybe I should. But, at the point we are at right now, plagiarism doesn't strike me as a big problem.

I always knew he was involved in unethical fakery. Now, finally blatant evidence has born fruit out against him; that did not take very long at all. Really great job there, Fareed, you associated bag of American hating trash! Now kindly do the right thing and exile yourself from our land of the free.

I agree, but I'm still glad to see him go anyway.

He did invite Peter Schiff to his show once but usually its some European Banker or socialist with a funny name that fill his roster. War monger, globalist and bankster friend. Good riddance.
