The news arrived today in my inbox at 1:27 PM, in an email from Claudine Gay herself. She wrote me “to share that I will be stepping down as president” of Harvard. Fourteen minutes later, that email was followed by an official announcement to the same effect from the Harvard Corporation. Of course, Ms. Gay took the opportunity to blame her downfall on racism of unnamed adversaries. “[I]t has been . . . frightening to be subjected to personal attacks and threats fueled by racial animus.” What personal attacks and racial animus exactly, Ms. Gay? What I have seen (and...

I don't think you've seen ALL of this. In 1987, when @JoeBiden ran for President, he didn't get caught in 1 lie, he got caught in at least 9 wildly different lies and acts of plagiarism. It engulfed his campaign and he resigned in disgrace.

In May, the History Channel will air its remake of Alex Haley's Roots: The Saga of An American Family. Unsurprisingly, the advertising for the broadcast fails to mention that Roots is a fake, and a fake of the first order. First of all, the book upon which the successful mini-series was based was actually authored by Murray Fisher, Alex Haley's editor from Playboy magazine. Secondly, Roots wasn't just ghost-written: it was plagiarized: In 1978, Judge Robert Ward concluded that Haley had stolen the idea for Roots from Harry Courlander, the white man who authored The African. Courlander charged Haley with...

When Washington Post journalist Elizabeth Flock wrote a post last year falsely accusing Mitt Romney of using a Ku Klux Klan slogan in his campaign speech, she was not fired or disciplined. But when Flock stole from the work of another mainstream organization and did not properly attribute, she abruptly “resigned” from the Washington Post conveniently and coincidentally before another editor’s note went up on her post that described it as having “serious factual errors” and “a significant ethical lapse.” Flock told AFP that “she resigned on Friday before the Post published a second editor's note about her work and...

ARLINGTON, Va. — Politico says a reporter has resigned after editors determined she had plagiarized stories about transportation, most recently from a New York Times article. Editor-in-chief John F. Harris and executive editor Jim VandeHei said in an online note that the stories by Kendra Marr "borrowed from the work of others, without attribution, in ways which we cannot defend and will not tolerate."

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, what can be said of plagiarism? President Obama’s second State of the Union address contained enough recycled ideas and lines lifted from speeches of others to make historians wince. I suppose this is what one does when one not only has nothing new to say, but is required by custom and Constitution to come forth with a report of some kind by a certain time and day. Had Obama or his writers been considerate enough to have informed listeners of where some of the president’s best lines and offered-up ideas originated, the...

Whaaatt? All of that brilliance spewing forth from Michael Moore is not original? Of course not; the Left never has any original ideas. Everything oozing out of them is recycled twaddle from the happy Halcyon Stalin Days and again during the 1960’s drug haze. The same burned out bunch of morons have repurposed themselves and taken over the government. Thus, it’s no surprise that Big Journalism is reporting that Moore liberated an entire story from the Knoxville News Sentinel including video without bothering himself to credit the actual source. "The article’s original author, the Knoxville News Sentinel’s Frank Munger, alerted...

I've tried to think that it's just laziness -- You know, not bothering to read the source materials before leaping to whatever interpretation of them you like best - but I can't. What I see in current news reporting can't be that innocent. The media can't all be a bunch of high school kids cranking out homework assignment book reports without actually reading the book. And even if they were, doesn't there ever come a time.......

It was, for its day, as big a book-selling phenomenon as Harry Potter. For decades it was a No. 1 best-selling phenomenon unlike anything seen before in America. And Joseph Smith loved it. Or did he?

The media has failed to cover any aspect of Joe Biden's many gaffes and insults. Aside from the choice to plagiarize - (the "easy button" that he shares with Obama) - Biden has been caught lying, embellishing and misquoting as well as insulting minorities and women

The Ventura County Star said it has terminated contracts with two freelance columnists after finding evidence of plagiarism in their work. Jim Woodard, who wrote weekly columns on new businesses and real estate, used material from other sources, including the Wall Street Journal, without attribution, the Star said in a story published on April 2. The Star said it found a total of four suspected incidents of plagiarism since early November in Woodard's real estate column in the Sunday homes section. In a Feb. 20 story, the Star said it found evidence of plagiarism in two columns by David Burroughs,...

Columbia, Mo. (AP) -- A distinguished University of Missouri-Columbia journalism professor will no longer write a weekly newspaper column after admitting to plagiarizing material from a student reporter. John Merrill, a professor emeritus at the University of Missouri School of Journalism, also wrote a Sunday column for the Columbia Missourian, a community newspaper affiliated with the school. But a Nov. 4 column by Merrill about the university's women's and gender studies program used three quotes and other phrases taken directly from an Oct. 5 story in The Maneater, an independent student newspaper. Missourian Executive Editor Tom Warhover disclosed the plagiarism...

WASHINGTON -- Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign, 46 days old on Tuesday, has run into some speed bumps, created because of a series of missteps magnified because he is under microscopic scrutiny. It's too early to say whether the gaffes slow Obama's momentum -- or if they become barricades, extracting a more significant price for the Illinois Democrat's White House bid. They are getting noticed. Consider the items that have been accumulating since Obama announced on Feb. 10: • Marking the anniversary of the March 1965 "Bloody Sunday" in Selma, Ala., Obama, speaking at a church, said his parents got...

If plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery, then Russian President Vladimir Putin has made two University of Pittsburgh professors blush. Researchers at the Brookings Institution, a private nonprofit corporation in Washington, D.C., recently discovered that Putin copied significant chunks of a 1978 textbook by Pitt professors William R. King and David I. Cleland and passed it off as his own for his mid-1990s economic dissertation. "One is always pleased when one's work is found to be useful, but it's a little disappointing when one's work is found to be represented as someone else's," said King, a professor at Pitt's...

Red America, my new blog at washingtonpost.com, has been under attack since its launch. It is a conservative blog on a mainstream media site, so many of the attacks were expected. If one bothers to read it, I believe it stands as a welcome addition to the opinion debate. The hate mail that I have received since the launch of this blog has been overwhelmingly profane and violent. My family has been threatened; my friends have been deluged; my phone has been prank called. The most recent email that showed up while writing this post talked about how the author...

Psalms 1 1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners. 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. 4 Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. 5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly...
