[UPDATED below page break: TIME magazine, CNN have suspended Zakaria.] When CNN host and
Time editor-at-large Fareed Zakaria wrote a new piece called
"The Case for Gun Control," it ended with a bang: "So when people throw up their hands and say we can't do anything about guns, tell them they're being un-American--and unintelligent."
Here's something that suggests a lack of intelligence: plagiarism. Cam Edwards at NRANews.com suggested to me that Zakaria seemed to plagiarize a paragraph from an April article in
The New Yorker magazine -- with a modicum word-usage changes and interjections (Texas!) in an attempt to paper it over.
