Time Magazine Writer Suspended for Copying Another Person’s Work
Respected columnist and television host Fareed Zakaria is apologizing profusely for an error that could cost him a chunk of his reputation. Zakaria has been accused of copying text for his Time Magazine column out of an article written by Jill Lepore in the April issue of The New Yorker Magazine.
Zakaria has been suspended by Time until the situation can be reviewed. Although the host has taken responsibility for what he did, he doesn’t seem to have a readily-available explanation. He has made it clear that it was a “terrible mistake” and that it was entirely his fault.
The article focused on the issue of gun control. There had been several media outlets reporting similarities between the two articles, leading to the suspension. In addition to his work with Time Magazine, Zakaria is a Washington Post columnist and the host of CNN’s foreign-affairs show, “GPS.”

Plagiarism from the best. LOL
Desperate times call for desperate measures. Evidently dude is desperate. What he did is symptomatic of something gone very wrong in his life. Look for some “revelation” to be front and center shortly. Getting to the top isn’t the hard part. Staying there has it’s pitfalls too evidently.
What a stupid mistake by an otherwise very bright man!
This could be a career killer.
I am shocked! I can’t believe Fareed Zakaria would plagiarize anything from anyone! He is the best writer in the world!
Apparently he ISN’T the best writer in the world if he (admittedly) stole another persons work. It is sign of arrogance to think that you could do something like this and think that you could get away with it. Pride cometh before the fall.
I think its classic textbook of men thinking that if they put their spin on a story that it will gain more weight and notariety, unfortunately it wasn’t his story or idea. Bottom line what else has he or others lied, stolen, or cheated on about in order to get to the top? I’ve seen this type of thing happen to too many women, he had the bad misforturne of being a part of the public (media) of all places to try to get over on. Really dude? no comment?
So What?
What’s the big deal he made a error let him apologize and move on…..
Thank You
what they gonna do send him to Jail…lol
The big deal is that he cheated. He did not make a error. He deliberately STOLE someone else’s work. How would you feel if he stole your work, your wife or your car? What’s the big deal? You figure it out!
This is what happens when you look, act, talk, worship whites, because they do the same thing…they take other people’s work and claim as their own…
PB Short you are totally right and Liz is totally right idiotic cretin joseph.Nuff said.
The cretin Joseph would have plagiarized another’s work. I hope he reads the comments made by you and the other two people mentioned.
