CNN and Politico are Fake News. Therefore, I assume that these allegations are flat out lies.

If they’re proven true, she needs to go. If they’re demonstrably false, CNN needs to be decertified from the White House press pool.

If only these ‘news’ sources would put their energy toward rooting out the corruption in the Obama Admin, they might have a leg to stand on. We will have 4 years of this......I sure hope their advertisers wake up and stop supporting ‘news’ sources that are a visibly more interested in bringing down one political side than in reporting NEWS.

I write historical dissertations. It's impossible not to plagiarize.

Drip, drip, drip. Plagiarism is a big deal even if others have gotten away with it. There should be zero tolerance for it and making excuses for Crowley is wrong. I have yet to see her directly address this. President-elect Trump hasn’t said much. She should resign now before this blows up further.

When Business Insider applies the same standard to Martin Luther King, I’ll perk up my ears.

“IT’S NOT PLAGIARISM IF YOU”RE QUOTING!!!!”

It’s not quoting if you’re not citing the source. It’s just plagiarism.

RE: Dishonesty doesn’t become her. I remain disappointed. What a shame.

If I quote someone, is it plagiarism? Plagiarism applies only if the quote was not attributed to the original writer.

Hey, if Martin Luther King and Ted Kennedy can do it, why can’t Republicans?

It like my husband keeps reminding me that hillary has not been convicted or even brought up on any charges.

Yep.

The dems in the office are going to some protest in NYC this weekend. They really hate Trump.

Still floors me that they wanted what Obama was doing to us. They think that is good. Wow.

Like the muzzies we cannot share this country with them.

Martin Luther King was charismatic and his cause was just but over 50% of his PhD thesis was plagiarized.

His first book, Stride Towards Freedom, was also largely plagiarized.

also he never took a single step to change his name to Martin Luther King.

His name was always Mike King.

Who took stuff from Denzel Washington and Deval Patrick (another Axelrod tool).

Wasn’t it Biden that had a major plagiarism problem?

I missed any Leftist angst over that.

“So if I tell the story of Washington and the cherry tree, I’m plagerizing??”

If you’re lifting entire passages from Mason Locke Weems’s book on Washington, yes, you’re plagiarizing. This isn’t hard.

Crowley plagiarized and apparently has done it numerous times. I would still give her the job, but I would warn her about screwing up even once.

CNN eetc are about as reliable as an umbrella in a tornado. My guess is these slime merchants found passages in her thesis from uncited sources and are making a big deal about it. In fact, most narratives contain passages which include information garnered from the writer’s exposure to colleagues and documents they have read.

Politico is as biased as their phony polls and at this point, I just assume any garbage dumped by a hostile source on Trump or his people is just that - garbage. And so should anyone else.

Their credibility has been TOTALLY destroyed. They are FRAUDS.

BY THE WAY, anybody see Michelle’s or Obama’s theses???? HUH???

Did she actually plagiarize, or is this one of those pi$$ing contests over footnotes vs endnotes?

Hahahaha, we've got those conservatives now! Crowley thought she would get away with plagiarism, but we were too smart for her and found all the stuff she stole! And the dummy made it so easy for us by typing all of her stolen text in separate paragraphs and a different font! What an idiot!
