WTF is all this the system is trying to silence him the man is a journalist - he makes a living from writing articles and covering news plagiarism is even kind. it is outright stealing. supposing the article in question was considered for some award - what then? want to blame anyone, blame the internet and technology - it is far easier to track down plagiarism in these days. as to sanusi - thats apples and oranges 1) sanusi is not a journalist 2) sanusi gave the speech as the CBN governor, not as the individual - in companies everywhere, subordinates draft the speeches, letters etal and the oga edits.it simply means one or more of the authors of the speech was lazy - that is how subordiantes fk their ogas |

Who is hurt by the suspension of Zakaria, I am more hurt than Zakaria himself, because I am one of his ardent fans and I enjoy every bit of his shows and columns. Plagiarism or not, he brings the core truth to limelight, history exposed is plagiarized, even these words I am typing are originally not mine. I Plagiarize. So what happens to millions of his viewers, we are left empty, wanting and yearning for knowledge exposition, while the great invisible hands that runs the world's most powerful country is trying to silence the truth. The truth is always kept secret. The world's populace has rights to know....just like the spammers chose their bets based on low IQ density. USA has ripped me of a knowledge source. Rendering me susceptible to sovereign socio-political scam. If it was not plagiarism, it would have been something else. Zakaria would still have been taken off the airwaves and "cautioned", I am predicting, that, when he resumes again, it will be watered truth, can I say half-truth? Yes, the truth that USA wants told, not the absolute truth. |

I think we are discussing two different Fareed Zakaria here! The true Fareed zakaria at the centre of this issue is the anchor of CNN GPS, he is undoubtedly super intelligent....way more intelligent that mediocres here calling him unintelligent. Definitely these critics calling him unintelligent don't watch CNN GPS neither do they read his articles in The Time. Too bad he got his credibility stained by plagiarism. But nonetheless he remains a very brilliant top notch thinker and public analyst! GPS is the only programme I look forward to every week. I admire him so much I promise to give his name to my first son!!! |

esere826 I dont always agree with him, but do you know how tough it is to be able to weave an almost seamless narrative around geo-economical and social facts? @^^ Bros, if you are well travelled especially if you are originally from the so called third world, educated properly in the liberal arts et al, have the resources of good institutions around you such as Time/Newsweek, good hype around you and access, believe me you'll also do well if you are articulate enough . He is certainly bright but not exceptional than any one on NL. I can name a few at the top of my head . |

Ajanlekoko A lot of Nigerians are even beginning to hold them up as a standard @^^ Our power "elite" in Nigeria certainly do hold them as a standard hence their closest allies in "business" - lootocracy are Indians and Pakistanis. Ibori's closest adviser(lawyer) Indian actually was imprisoned too in the U.K. like him. It is sad that we do not really know the kind of people we are associating with let alone getting into "bed" with as business partners etc. They are inherently corrupt and mindless. No doubt that they are "academically" bright but that is all there is to it . Creativity is something else. |

^ stop being silly mr man! Trying to play english master will not make you look intelligent. If u like consider Fareed to be dull. Am pretty sure he is better than what you could ever claim as your level of intelligence! |
Re: Time And CNN Suspend Fareed Zakaria For Plagiarism by 1k001(m): 3:34pm On Aug 12, 2012 |
cheikh: esere826 Your statement is incredibly prejudiced and discriminatory. I've done a lot of work with very creative and Indians and Nigerians who would take offence at your suggestion that both groups are inherently corrupt. To qualify the quality of a person based on where they come from is the least of 'virtues'. I'd much rather plagiarism! |

cheikh: Ajanlekoko Again another who has fallen into the trap of referring to a race as inherently corrupt and mindless. I take it then that you are just as corrupt as Ibori seeing as you both have the same skin colour and hail from Nigeria (assuming of course that you are a Nigerian) |

shuddyy: ^ stop being silly mr man! Trying to play english master will not make you look intelligent. If u like consider Fareed to be dull. Am pretty sure he is better than what you could ever claim as your level of intelligence! ROFL @ "play[ing] english master." Typical Nigerian dunderhead. . . anyone capable of stringing two or more words together without stuttering like them is either "play[ing] english master" or "a top notch thinker." What a waste of grey matter! |
Re: Time And CNN Suspend Fareed Zakaria For Plagiarism by shuddyy: 5:48pm On Aug 12, 2012 |
Unfortunately for you, you will do more than this to be considered close to being intelligent. Hold it! Who cares about your low life? Fareed is world class n has shown that to the world. Keep wallowing in ignorance while labelling a Havard phd holder untelligent when you are not even smart by half. So much for your childish mind! Do u know how many books Fareed has written? Do you know how many brilliant minds have graced CNN GPS ? Do u think The Times will allow him write for them if he is not intelligent? Maybe you should come to the fore with your achievements first before opening your stinking mouth to call someone unintelligent. Bad he is entangled in this plagiarism mess but nonetheless he is a very intelligent chap....way above thw level your intelligence could ever peak! Stop being unnecessarily hypocritical because you want to sound smart. iragbijile: |

Re: Time And CNN Suspend Fareed Zakaria For Plagiarism by cheikh: 6:26pm On Aug 12, 2012 |
wesley80 But what you must realize is that people don't tune in to watch his programmes cos he's got a Phd from Havard but because he delivers and analyses the news better than most while managing to criticize govts in a most pleasant and constructive manner that leaves you nodding in agreement. Like noted in the link above, there are a number of excuses he could have given that would be considered tenable but he hasn't done so, rather he's chosen to accept full responsibility and take the fall. I hope he bounces back soon. @^^ You are right. I hope he bounces back too. It is the inherent hazard of the job and the nature of the American close "scrutiny" market place/culture . I hope that you realised that I never said anywhere in my posts that he's "unintelligent" . I do not talk like that . |

1k001 Again another who has fallen into the trap of referring to a race as inherently corrupt and mindless. I take it then that you are just as corrupt as Ibori seeing as you both have the same skin colour and hail from Nigeria (assuming of course that you are a Nigerian) @^^ Nigeria is not really a nation compared to India and Pakistan. Nigeria does not have a national cultural identity let alone a national philosophical identity which can be ascribed to the people. We are all "lone rangers" hence the perenial national malaise etc. India on the other hand has an identifiable national identity/culture etc which we can say is Indian despite the multiplicity of various ethnicities within the territory just like Naija. They have managed to forge a national language/philosophy/culture etc. We are not yet a 'nation' in Nigeria so anyone ascribing any negative epithet to me as a Nigerian is a waste of time. It only assuages the person's hang-ups/ inherent prejudice which I have no control over let alone give a damn for. Without sounding PC(political correctness), seriously, can you not identify national characteristics/traits/attitudes? Can you not say things definitively about Americans, British, French, Arab(s)(Saudi),etc?. I sincerely, appreciate and respect your opinion on this subject of (PC) and prejudice etc but much of prejudice are to some extent based on certain "objective" realities/'knowledge'. Can we help it? Yes! we can sometimes. My opinion is based on certain philosophical/cultural realities of the people(India and Pakistan). Culture and national philosophy defines a people not just 'PC'. It may not sound wholesome or ok hence the reticence because we are afraid that somebody else may call us names too in return. Ibori is as far away from my personal values but I take solace in the knowledge that he does not represent my values- personal or even "national" as we do not exactly have a nation as things are presently whether we like it or not. India is a nation so when I talk about a former citizen of India like Fareed, I am making a judgement based on his nationa/culture. It is not pretty or attractive though. It is what it is. I apologise if I have offended some sensibilities. I do not do "PC" most of the times. Sorry ooo. |

I have ardently followed Fareed Rafik from his days as an editor with Newsweek International into his sojourn with CNN, his demeanor on set was always in tandem with his writings as a columnist, his courage to discuss issues such as Immigration, Health Insurance and Underdevelopment in Third world countries to mention a few were without doubt, irrespective of the current situation original. Fareed made a Honest mistake which is almost inevitable in today's modern means of disseminating information, he has duly apologized and accepted any punishment meted at him by his current employers thus i still hold him in High regards. |

Re: Time And CNN Suspend Fareed Zakaria For Plagiarism by doofanc: 10:33pm On Aug 12, 2012 |
most people are now of the view that the contentious article was written - as usual, it is believed - by one of his many staff; it just happened to be a particularly lazy one this time. Fareed, it is believed, could not have engaged in such blatant plagiarism. Given his background, he most certainly would have been aware of the repercussions. Whether this would attenuate the seriousness of the situation is another case altogether. Many (haters, if you like) don't think so. Some actually think its far worse because it portrays him as dishonest, money-hungry charlatan. You have to bear in mind he collected huge sums of money (an average of $75K) for some of these essays. If it turns out many of them were 'outsourced', things could become very messy indeed for him. |
