| Juan Williams caught plagiarizing |
| 2013-03-09 |
| NPR must be laughing their asses off right now. Excerpted via The Other McCain The original report on Salon detailing the plagiarism can be found here A column by Fox News talking head Juan Williams published last month by the Hill was quietly updated last week to fix some pesky instances of plagiarism. The article, it turned out, featured entire paragraphs from a Center for American Progress report on immigration, with a few words changed here and there, as detailed by Salon. "I was writing a column about the immigration debate and had my researcher look around to see what data existed to pump up this argument and he sent back what I thought were his words and summaries of the data," Williams told Alex Seitz-Wald without apologizing. |

| #9 Yeah. Its amazing he hasn't gone on his segment and rattled off a couple sentences in Chinese before he realizes his mistake...then goes back and correctly pronounces the Chairman's name. |

| #7 Thursday evening, Williams pinned the blame on a researcher who he described as a “young man.” Poor, poor, workmanship. |

| #3 So he's an actor and/or cheerleader. Perhaps salesman is the right word, but we knew that. News as entertainment has been going on since at least Desert Shield, its just that IMHO Fox pulls it off better than the rest. And to be flat honest, after 30 minutes I usually walk away with more facts and background from other reality as entertainment shows, like pawn or storage or fishing. Even bad girls and teen mom > cnn. |
