Time Magazine suspends Fareed Zakaria
Politico ^ | August. 10, 2012 | DYLAN BYERS

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.

NOW my day is complete!

That guy is such a liberal dimwit, this seems fitting, although I have long since come to the conclusion that plagiarism is a career enhancer for liberals.

You don’t hear it much happening to conservatives, eh?

He didn't just copy the thoughts - he had to deliberately go through and rework everything to get that to come out.

These are the great journalists we are waiting for to vet Obama. Give me a fricking break. They are so lazy they couldn't find Richard Simmons in a closet.

Those Journ-o-lists had to investigate important issues like Joe the plumber’s trade license and the DNA of Palin’s Down Syndrome child....

Hold on, sport. My point was that he is not as lazy as he could be.

If he was real lazy, he would have copied verbatim.

But instead, he turned "a professor of constitutional law at UCLA" into "a constitutional-law scholar at U.C.L.A."

He turned "in the U.S. from the earliest years of the Republic" into "in the United States from the start".

He actually put work into his plagiarizing. Weird.
