A PULITZER PRIZE WINNING COLUMNIST CAUGHT PLAGIARIZING!
Let’s go to our S.A.T. tests and try this:
Basball Player is to Sterroids
as
Plagiarizing is to Reporter
Ommm….YES.
Where is the uproar?
Where is the suspension?
Where is “the program” that the reporter needs to complete to prevent such a heinous act from happening again?
Let’s face it – those policing the people (us) are just as fallible as the athletes….looking for just the right words….even a Pulitzer prize winner can have a writer’s block and have an urge to use someone else’s words.
OR
Said writer has someone else doing the writing for her.
Either way, journalists across the world should be upset.
And, if I’m an athlete, do I lump all journalists into this category – you know – guilty until proven innocent. Or, well if a Pulitzer Prize winner is doing it….you MUST be doing it to.
Those higher-than-thou journalists would never think of putting these things together.
Would they?
