The aging, self abusing creep has nothing to say about it but can you imagine if it were Charles Krauthammer, Laura Ingraham, or Jonah Goldberg who did the plagiarising – he would do 20 threads in three days on it. The thought that Zakaria (a Muslim) was considered to be a potential Secretary of State to replace Mrs. Clinton is enough to make you reach for the barf bag.
Fareed Zakaria pays the price for plagiarising
Washington, Aug 11 — Celebrated Indian-American journalist Fareed Zakaria paid the price for what he himself called “a terrible mistake” and “a serious lapse” as Time magazine and CNN suspended him for plagiarism.
Mumbai-born Zakaria, 48, who became editor-at-large of Time in 2010 and hosted CNN’s flagship foreign affairs show GPS, was suspended by the two media, both owned by Time Warner, after he apologised for plagiarising sections of his column on gun control in the Aug 20 issue of Time.
While Time’s suspension of Zakaria was for a month “pending further review”, CNN put no time limit on its removal of its celebrated host from its airwaves.
Zakaria, who was a columnist for Newsweek and editor of Newsweek International from 2000 to 2010, was even talked about as a potential secretary of state, with Esquire Magazine calling him “the most influential foreign policy adviser of his generation,” as his website proudly proclaims.
But the reaction to the fall of the celebrated journalist, who was honoured by India with the Padma Bhushan for his contribution towards journalism in 2010, was swift. Noted TV critic and author David Zurawik said, “Plagiarism used to be a deadly journalistic sin from which there often was no redemption.”
“Given the lack of values and ethics in journalism today, however, who knows what will happen to Zakaria,” Zurawik wondered in The Baltimore Sun, but he for one didn’t care “how smart someone is supposed to be, if they steal others’ ideas and words, they are dead to me as a source of intellectual or moral discourse”.
Zakaria’s suspension came as bloggers spotted similarities in some passages in his Time column, “The Case for Gun Control”, to those in a longer article on guns in America by the historian Jill Lepore, which appeared in the April 23 issue of The New Yorker.
Starting with the conservative website NewsBusters, the story quickly spread across the internet after appearing on the media blog JimRomenesko.com.
Zakaria responded with an abject apology, saying: “Media reporters have pointed out that paragraphs in my Time column this week bear close similarities to paragraphs in Jill Lepore’s essay in the April 23 issue of The New Yorker.”
“They are right. I made a terrible mistake. It is a serious lapse and one that is entirely my fault. I apologize unreservedly to her, to my editors at Time, and to my readers,” he admitted.
[.......]
CNN followed suit, saying: “We have reviewed Fareed Zakaria’s Time column, for which he has apologized. He wrote a shorter blog post on CNN.com on the same issue which included similar unattributed excerpts. That blog post has been removed and CNN has suspended Fareed Zakaria while this matter is under review.”
Earlier this year, Yale and Harvard educated Zakaria was criticised for giving a commencement speech at Harvard that was very similar to the one he had earlier given at Duke.

Daedalus Addendum: The Corpulent Creep’s main worry with Paul Ryan is not his fiscal stances. He’s worried about Ryan’s stance on abortion!
Charles Johnson is not worried about a bad economy or dire fiscal situation. All Paul Ryan did was vote against funding abortions. Charles wants to pay for dead babies. He’s a psychopathic creep.

they are almost as tigh5t as the pogues.
I believe there was someone who writes for the Atlantic that pointed out Zakaria had ripped off something from on of his columns. This was a year or two ago I guess. So this isn’t the first time he’s done it -- it’s the first time he’s been caught.
As for Biden -- I’m fairly certain that was staff work. Pols rarely write their own speeches all by their lonesome and I’m willing to bet Biden was -- and is -- completely unfamiliar with the British political class.

I think both china and n. Korea are both serious threats in today’s standard. They just pose different threats depending on what you consider the threat. China is a threat to our economy and has no reason to invade -- they will just covertly take over/control the financial aspect. N. Korea is a loose cannon -- kind of like im-a-dinner-jacket.
JMO.
@ coldwarrior:
They have nuclear weapons -- correct?
Really not arguing with you, but it doesn’t have to be the US that NK hits. It could be NK along with Iran targeting Israel.
Again, I was only commenting on the movie. And I realize it is only a movie. I was one that wasn’t real thrilled with the remake.

well
as Paul Harvey used to say
here is the rest of the story
Henry Juszkiewicz, CEO of Gibson Guitars, tells how the feds came in guns ablazing and raided their three factories because of the imported rosewood from India. But recently Gibson was cleared by the DOJ of all wrongdoing but had to pay a settlement of somewhere around $350k just to get them off his back – and they were never charged with anything. But Juszkiewicz says that’s small potatoes because to date they have paid $2.4 million in legal fees since the DOJ first raided their factories.

When I was about 14 -- say 1966 -- there was a family down the street. The Mr & Mrs had had an affair w/each other while married to previous spouses. They divorced those spouses and married each other. There were no children involved. By the time I knew them their oldest was 12. Even tho no one had known them before they moved to the neighborhood, the story got out and they were shunned -- except by my parents who just rolled their eyes.
