Eminent journalist Fareed Zakaria suspended for plagiarism

Well-known Indian-American journalist Fareed Zakaria suspended by Time Magazine and CNN as their columnist and show host after he confessed the charges of plagiarism. Zakaria was accused of writing copied text in his column the case for gun control in the August 20, 2012 issue of Time.

Conservative website NewsBusters found much similarity b/w Zarkaria’s and those written by historian Jill Lepore on the same issue, which appeared in the 23 April 2012 issue of The New Yorker.
