Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Thursday, October 17, 2024

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. Today, I reviewed the complete dossier prepared by Dr. Stefan Weber, whom I have covered before. I 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. Is it problematic? Yes. But it's also not the wholesale fraud that many have claimed it to be. It sits somewhere between what the two sides want it to be.

Why would the NYT lie to the expert?

"The most serious allegation concerns Wikipedia.

Harris' book contained roughly two paragraphs copied from Wikipedia without citation. To be clear, that is plagiarism. It's compounded by the fact that Wikipedia is typically not seen as a reliable source, and, according to Weber, there was an error in the information."

That's the worst?

So, 1Nut... what's the Chinese word for, 'moron'?

When copy/paste the authors words without quotes or attribution followed by your name, that's plagiarism, or really sloppy

Oh. And if you read the entire article your insinuation in the headline is destroyed.

We're left with another nothingburger.

Know what is more serious?

Attempting to overthrow an election through a violent mob where people died and hundreds were injured, some permanently.

Forgetting to cite a source? BFD.

Be best has more plagiarism that what you're clutching your pearls over.
