Trump's National Security Spokesperson Caught for Large-Scale Plagiarism
 

Conservative author and television personality Monica Crowley, whom Donald Trump has tapped for a top national security communications role, plagiarized large sections of her 2012 book, a CNN KFile review has found.

The review of Crowley’s June 2012 book, "What The (Bleep) Just Happened," found upwards of 50 examples of plagiarism from numerous sources, including the copying with minor changes of news articles, other columnists, think tanks, and Wikipedia. The New York Times bestseller, published by the HarperCollins imprint Broadside Books, contains no notes or bibliography...

Crowley, a syndicated radio host, columnist, and, until recently, a Fox News contributor, will serve as Trump’s senior director of strategic communications for the National Security Council.

Scrolling the complete list of discovered plagiarism at the bottom of the article, it's hard to imagine she's ever had an original thought. Between Breitbart Editor Bannon, fake news fan/distributor Flynn and plagiarist Crowley, Trump has sure surrounded himself with some massive assclowns to develop national security policy. I thought he was going to hire the best.:confused:

Meanwhile, Trump continues to attempt to ramrod his cabinet appointees through the Senate before vetting is complete. Ignorance is bliss, I suppose.

Imagine that.

Refuses to act Presidential, refuses traditions of the office, who is above the laws of the land, and hides everything personal out of fear the public will find out he truth.

I'm certain they are just following the will of the people....you know, those people over there.....

Damn! This plagiarism thing is rampant--it is bi-partisan. :D

Plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery.

Plagiarism is the sincerest form of fraud. (FIFY)

Trump appointee has no original ideas, and no morals. Just what is wanted at the highest level of government.

It is a two party affliction.

I get so tired of the argument that because they behave badly, you can be excused for behaving badly too.

It's a small child's argument and I hear it so often from the right.

But only one is in power now though. ;)

Indeed only one is in power.

And who is the highest ranking plagiarist in power?

It's still morning in CA and I am on my second cup of Java, so help me, who is the highest ranking plagiarist in power now? :)

It now appears that she also plagiarized her doctoral dissertation.

YAWN!!!

Obama plagiarized Deval Patrick.

Joe Biden plagiarized Neil Kinnock.

Apparently you can only recycle the same bullshit once or twice before someone starts to notice.

I can't wait for CNN to weigh in on this. Maybe they can get Fareed Zakaria to do a special news program about it.

Using somebody else's sentence in a political speech is a different animal than plagiarizing over 50 times in a book you're selling or, worse yet, a doctoral dissertation. It'll be interesting to see if Columbia yanks her degree. They should.

Joe Biden admits to plagiarism in law school--five pages out of a fifteen page paper.

well, since he did it then it's OK if everyone does it......:rolleyes:

It's what I like about this country, we keep setting the bar lower and lower....

No! It is not. And the poster did not say it was.

I'm sorry, that's how I'm reading this thread....the democrats did it so it's OK if the republicans do it.....

"Oh, so what? They all do it.".................

In addition to irony, degree is another thing they just don't get.

Hillary is called "Killery" for the handful of dead in Benghazi. The Bush administration pushed hard for war in Iraq under false pretense.......What was that? ~4,700 American soldiers dead under his watch?

My, my, my............

Columbia no doubt has a higher standard of evidence than you.

I think the "Killery" moniker (Ouch!) involves more than Benghazi...Hillary is observed exulting in killing.

Like Khadafy (or Bin Laden for that matter) didn't need killing? :confused:

Personally, I hope Pres. Obama sticks a Hellfire up al Baghdadi's ass before he leaves office.

Yes, but Obama is often seen as sober.

It took the media about 5 minutes to look up Crowley's writings. But after 8 years, itsn't it just hilarious that they still can't find Obama's "Aristocracy Reborn" master's thesis from Columbia, or any of his records from Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard Law School?

Classic media BS...

There you go, spreading more fake news after something embarrassing to Trump comes out.

BTW, PhD dissertations are available online to anyone who wants them (that's the point of PhD's - to contribute distinct and original academic knowledge, something I'm not surprised you wouldn't know).

Here's Columbia's comment on Crowley's apparent plagiarism on her PhD dissertation at Columbia:

“We have no comment on Monica Crowley’s dissertation, which was submitted in 2000 and is publicly available. The University’s process for addressing concerns raised about University research preserves the confidentiality of any review, and even the fact of a review’s existence is confidential while it is underway. Columbia is committed to upholding the very highest standards of integrity and credibility in academic research.”

It will be very interesting to hear what she has to say about this.

Re the Factcheck subject graphic: one fact they missed checking is the claim that Obama's 'master's thesis at Columbia' is sealed. I don't now how a thing that does not exist can be sealed. Obama never attended graduate school at Columbia and does not hold a master's degree.

The graphic is from a right-wing ad that Factcheck was debunking. The producers of the ad didn't seem overly concerned about being factual, the very reason for the fact checking to begin with.

4700 US military, and most likely just under 500,000 middle eastern civilians just wanting to live in peace, could be in the millions.

LOL. I thought that would make your head explode. :p

In other words, you got nuthin'.

HarperCollins to stop selling Monica Crowley's book after plagiarism allegations.

Monica Crowley, recently appointed by President-elect Donald Trump to a key national security communications job, said Monday that she would relinquish the post amid multiple allegations of plagiarism.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...arism-charges/

Ding, dong ...

Buh-bye Monica. Trump sure knows how to pick 'em. ;)

Remember Mike Barnicle went through this and interestingly enough Don Imus defended him to the end.

And of course Barnicle turned on him instantly over the racism charges.

But, what else would you expect from a lefty.

Odd how "lefties" as you put it are so intolerant of racism. It's almost as if they feel all men are actually created equal. How silly....... :rolleyes:

It is fortunate that blacks are black. Otherwise at least once in a while they would have to use some other reason for their problems.

Racists would just come up with some other reason to divide. (Sigh...)
