Looks like CNN host and Time magazine editor got himself busted for plagiarism in his last pro-gun control article. A real shame that another liberal media star shows himself to be just another two-bit loser.

[UPDATED below page break: TIME magazine, CNN have suspended Zakaria.] When CNN host and Time editor-at-large Fareed Zakaria wrote a new piece called “The Case for Gun Control,” it ended with a bang: “So when people throw up their hands and say we can't do anything about guns, tell them they're being un-American--and unintelligent.”

Here’s something that suggests a lack of intelligence: plagiarism.

yet another example liberals can't win being who they are. They can't win being honest. Dishonesty and deception is easy for liberals..they have no moral core. Having no moral core is how they define freedom.

Wow, you guys are pathetic. You are all up in arms about how FZ needs to be off the air for espousing liberal views, yet you don't seem to care about plagarism in comparison. This has nothing to do with liberals or conservatives in general, but about laziness. He should rightly be punished for that, and that alone.

Pathetic OP gets more pathetic as November nears. This is just the quiet before the real stupid storm begins... Reality continues to have a liberal slant to the retarded right...

If you really believed in what your saying in your sig, it should be a lot longer and include a lot of the right wing posters here

I think it's funny that he's going to get his job back in a month after committing one of the worst infractions any journalist can make.

Funny thing is, when a "Liberal" reporter does something wrong, there is almost always some consequence. When a "Conservative" reporter does something wrong(especially at FN), there are no consequences.

Personal Responsibility seems to have a Liberal slant.

Really disappointing, I always had a lot of respect for him. I don't think it's fair to call him a liberal, he is more of an intellectual.

I am sure others feel the same way, but only Phokus goes on public record being proud of his hate for a huge number of Americans.

It is unethical for a journalist to plagiarize other people's content. If you do it and get caught you're fucked.

Of course there is another form of plagiarism that is more insidious than this. It is the plagiarism of group think, where partisan folk attack the other party for plagiarism as a party defect because they are nothing themselves but brainwashed trained apes.
