Oh well... I guess she could always serve as Melania's speech writer.
Looks like just one news outlet, the LWL news outlet. They've been thrown a bone to talk about for weeks if not months., but never a word about the contents of Hillary's emails.
Say again who wrote The Audacity Of Hope?
Please Jimbo, if you want to continue to be a gullible stooge then go right ahead, but don't insult the rest of us.
Monica Crowley, President-elect Trump's pick for director of strategic communications for the National Security Council, plagiarized numerous sources in her 2012 book, "What The (Bleep) Just Happened?"
A bombshell investigation published by CNN's KFile found over 50 examples in the book in which Crowley appears to have copied exact language from, columnists, think tanks, and Wikipedia. The investigation says that the book – a New York Times bestseller – "contains no notes or bibliography."
In one instance, Crowley, who was most recently a Fox News contributor until she was tapped for a position in the Trump administration, seems to have lifted an entire section on Keynesian economics from a 2009 article that published on Investopedia.
In another section, a passage in her book is almost a word-for-word copy of a 2010 article by James Rosen for Fox News.
Here's what it says in Crowley's book, according to passages highlighted in CNN's investigation:
" She also said that she was only briefed once—in September 2002—on the advanced interrogation methods.
At the time, Pelosi was the House Minority Whip and top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee. She said that CIA briefers told her that "the use of enhanced interrogation techniques were legal" and added that waterboarding "was not being employed.""
Here's what Rosen's Fox News article says:
" Last year, Pelosi said she was only briefed once on the advanced interrogation methods, in September 2002.
At the time, Pelosi was the House Minority Whip and top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee. She said in May 2009 that CIA briefers told her that "the use of enhanced interrogation techniques were legal," and added that waterboarding "was not being employed.""
Crowley also seems to have plagiarized sections from at least five Wall Street Journal articles, according to CNN.
Here's a passage from her book:
" Meanwhile, GM’s bondholders got screwed.
GM had $27.2 billion in unsecured bonds owned by the public. These were owned by mutual funds, pension funds, hedge funds, and retail investors who bought them directly through their brokers. Under the restructuring deal, they were forced to exchange their $27.2 billion in bonds for 10 percent of the stock of the new GM. This amounted to less than five cents on the dollar."
Here's a passage from the 2009 Wall Street Journal article that Crowley lifted the material from:
" The biggest losers here are GM's bondholders.
According the Treasury-GM debt-for-equity swap announced Monday,GM has$27.2 billion in unsecured bonds owned by the public. Theseareowned by mutual funds, pension funds, hedge funds and retail investors who bought them directly through their brokers. UnderMonday's offer,theywouldexchange their $27.2 billion in bonds for 10% of the stock of therestructuredGM. Thiscould amountto less than five cents on the dollar."
In another example, Crowley copied a 2011 Journal article.
Here's the passage from her book:
" As the late great economist Milton Friedman pointed out, the true burden on taxpayers is government spending because government borrowing demands future interest payments out of future taxes. "
And here's the snippet from a 2011 Journal article by Michael J. Boskin that passage seems to have come from:
" As Milton Friedman taught decades ago, the true burden on taxpayers today is government spending; government borrowing requires future interest payments out of future taxes. "
What do I think? I think among other things that the author of this charge is either a)wholly ignorant of the meaning of the term "paraphrase", b)a partisan hack or c)both.
As charges go this one falls under the "you've got to be kidding" status.
Eagerly awaiting the next obvious partisan attack.....
Whining that "Everyone else does it" does not excuse it.
Anyway, the examples are blatant plagiarism, not paraphrasing.
"There's right and there's wrong and there's nothing in-between."
By the way, this is not the first time Crowley has been accused of Plagiarism. The first time was in 1999. I kind of doubt those on Trump team making decision to hire her knew about this issue, but that doesn't mean she should get away with it without consequences now it's been brought to light. Plagiarism is Theft of intellectual property.
