Lefty Fox News analyst Juan Williams is in hot water after it was discovered that a column he’d 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.
It’s a Black Liberal thing. It’s called “sampling.” Quite legal in the music industry.
Stealing is no big deal anymore.
Exactly. Juan's fellow lefty Doris Kearns-Goodwin got away with it...
Forced racial political identification is one of the sadder, sicker things in our society. No excuse for such polarization.
Is Juan too STUPID to do his OWN RESEARCH and WRITING??? OMG!! IS this how ALL “writers” work....off someone else’s work??
When this turd comes on I turn off fox
He’ll weather this storm whereas a conservative would get run out on a rail....
Doris Kearns Goodwin, big lib “historian” who the lefty lib press trots out for “historical context” every now and then got caught in a big plagiarism scandal...
Speilberg used her for “Lincoln”....
lol, I’m glad I wasn’t the only one thinking that!
