The New York Times Criticized by its Own Expert for Defending Kamala Harris’ Plagiarism

It’s amusing to see the expert brought in by the New York Times to cover up Kamala Harris’ plagiarism scandal backtrack on their previous statements.

A quick summary: Chris Rufo, known for uncovering plagiarism among America’s elite, recently exposed significant instances of direct copying in Harris’ book “Tough on Crime,” including some from Wikipedia. It appeared as if Harris and her ghostwriter were rushing to finish a paper like panicked middle-school students.

It was blatant plagiarism, plain and simple.

The New York Times quickly defended Harris, with a headline stating “Conservative Activist Seizes on Passages From Harris Book” and plagiarism expert Joanthan Bailey downplaying the seriousness of the issue.

Interestingly, the Gray Lady criticized Sen. Rand Paul much more harshly for a similar offense.

The reporters tried to deceive Bailey by downplaying the extent of the plagiarism in Harris’ book.

However, upon seeing the full evidence, Bailey admitted his initial assessment was incorrect.

While he still doesn’t explicitly call out Harris and her ghostwriter as thieves, it’s clear that they engaged in plagiarism.

Don’t expect the New York Times to make any meaningful corrections or retractions.

It’s simple:

Plagiarism is stealing.

It’s unethical whether done by students, ghostwriters, senators, Democrats, Harvard University presidents, or anyone else.

The New York Times is aware of this, as they didn’t hesitate to criticize someone they disagreed with over similar theft.

Their biased actions to support Harris’ candidacy are disgraceful.

Unless the editors and reporters at the Times still have some sense of shame.
