“The case is more serious”: NYT hid extent of Kamala Harris plagiarism from their own expert
By News Editors // Oct 18, 2024

Earlier this week journalist Chris Rufo revealed that Kamala Harris plagiarized giant sections of her book on crime, after famed Austrian "plagiarism hunter" Dr. Stefan Weber found that "Kamala Harris plagiarized at least a dozen sections of her criminal-justice book."

(Article by Tyler Durden republished from ZeroHedge.com)

In response, the New York Times bent over backwards (and forwards) to downplay their preferred candidate's cut-n-pastery - first casting it as 'conservative activist seizes on passages' from Harris' book, then totally lying about Rufo's reporting - which Rufo quickly debunked.

As part of their propaganda, the Times wheeled out plagiarism expert Jonathan Bailey, who said "his initial reaction to Mr. Rufo’s claims was that the errors were not serious, given the size of the document."

Except, the Times concealed the extent of the claims from Bailey - who writes in his Plagiarism Today blog: "At the time, I was unaware of a full dossier with additional allegations, which led some to accuse the New York Times of withholding that information from me. However, the article clearly stated that it was my “initial reaction” to those allegations, not a complete analysis.

From Bailey's blog:

Today, I reviewed the complete dossier prepared by Dr. Stefan Weber, whom I have covered beforeI also performed a peer review of one of his papers in 2018.

With this new information, while I believe the case is more serious than I commented to the New York Times, the overarching points remain. While there are problems with this work, the pattern points to sloppy writing habits, not a malicious intent to defraud.

Bailey still refers to the plagiarism as nothing more than "sloppy writing habits, not a malicious intent to defraud."

Much like it's not "malicious intent to defraud" when a college student copies Wikipedia word-for-word, then gets expelled?

What's more, Rufo implored the Times to look at the entire claim - which they refused to do.

Meanwhile, the plagiarism is even worse than reported!
