Liberals! liberals! liberals. They never cease to amaze me. This guy always acts like he is smarter than everybody else now look what he did!! Shameful.
NEW YORK (AP) - Columnist and TV host Fareed Zakaria has apologized for lifting several paragraphs by another writer for use in his column in Time magazine. His column has been suspended for a month.
Zakaria said in a statement Friday he made "a terrible mistake," adding, "It is a serious lapse and one that is entirely my fault."In a separate statement, Time spokesman Ali Zelenko said the magazine accepts Zakaria's apology, but would suspend his column for one month, "pending further review.""What he did violates our own standards for our columnists, which is that their work must not only be factual but original; their views must not only be their own but their words as well," Zelenko said.
Media reporters had noted similarities between passages in Zakaria's column about gun control that appeared in Time's Aug. 20 issue, and paragraphs from an article by Harvard University history professor Jill Lepore published in April in The New Yorker magazine.
In Zakaria's column, titled "The Case for Gun Control," he began one paragraph with the sentences: "Adam Winkler, a professor of constitutional law at UCLA, documents the actual history in 'Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms in America.' Guns were regulated in the U.S. from the earliest years of the Republic."
A corresponding passage in Lenore's New Yorker essay, titled "Battleground America," begins: "As Adam Winkler, a constitutional-law scholar at U.C.L.A., demonstrates in a remarkably nuanced new book, 'Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms in America,' firearms have been regulated in the United States from the start."
In Zakaria's statement, he apologized "unreservedly" to Lepore, as well as to his editors and readers.Besides serving as an editor-at-large at Time, Zakaria is a Washington Post columnist and the host of CNN's foreign-affairs show, "GPS." Source
By the way I think wewe mleta thread ni mnafiki kwa sababu zangu and not a loyal person at all.

Tafadhali wewe mod uliyetoa bandiko langu hutendi haki.
Jamaa kaniita mimi mnafiki, nimemjibu, halafu wewe unakuja unafuta bandiko langu halafu lake unaliacha. Kwa nini?
Kwa nini umefanya hivyo? Hivi kwa akili yako unadhani mimi nilijibandikia tu kama mwehu?
Kwa vile tu umepewa hicho kibarua cha kuweza kufuta mabandiko ya watu hiyo haikufanyi wala haimaanishi kuwa wewe una akili, hekima wala busara.
Unadiriki kunifutia bandiko langu huku la kwake yeye kuniita mimi mnafiki pasipo na ushahidi unaliacha? Shame on you.
Wewe mod uliyenifutia bandiko langu unaona huyu jamaa alivyoniita?
Mimi kumjibu umenifutia ila yeye la kwake lilichochea jibu langu umeliacha. Una hata chembe ya akili kweli wewe?
Hunijui, sikujui. Huna loyalty pact na mimi. So you can kiss my ass.
It is a fact your not the sort of a loyal person as it happens just my rationale and I don't need to explain just as people in Jukwaa la siasa wanavyojibu bila ya kuelezea maazimio yao.
I got my reasons to think so.
It is easier kwako wewe kuweka majibu unayotaka under the shadows of anonymity and we would all love to do that. Lakini si rahisi kujibu namna hiyo kama kuna exposure of identity figure that out na domo lako.
usiku mwema.

(talking to myslef) I'll figure it out, i was thinking Moe, mmh but he aint that clever or just my illusions time has passed.
Since i initiated the provocation i think it is only right i apologized, let it go.What the hell are you talking about? Good grief....
Una bifu na mtu nini?

Sometimes inatokea kua you use somebody else's article to give
credit to your own argument, and you just forget to put the references.
If this was a mistake, one would easily see it as the quotation would be
the exact copy of the article/paragraph the author wanted to quote
only the referencing notes would be missing. Inatokea sana tu.
However, in this case we see that he deliberately applied some cosmetic changes
to make the paragraph fit his context, and he probably intended to confuse whoever
came across the 1sr article in a way that the words would ring a bell but still be different.
I don't know who he is but shame on him! Bora amekamatwa!
Nyani,
Do not blame it on liberalism. Plagiarism has no forte in liberalism alone. I am sure the likes of Rush Limbaughs and those on the right have had the same vice.
