Discussion: Buzzfeed Fires Editor Over Multiple Instances Of Plagiarism

Someone else wrote “5 Things You Won’t Believe About the Fort Hood Shooter!” before he did?

“This is a breach of faith with our readers; a violation of a basic rule
of writing; and the reflection of an unserious attitude to our work
that is wildly out of line with both our standards and our ambition.”

So, what is your ambition? Is it a propaganda piece by McCay Coppins refurbishing Paul Ryan’s 19th century, Ayn Randian social policies? Is that your ambition? How much did The Hoarders Koch pay buzzfeed for that?

“Those of [you] with editor’s credentials” should know the use of lay vs. lie.

Plagiarism is plagiarism and it is always wrong.
