"The Case Is More Serious": NYT Hid Extent Of Kamala Harris Plagiarism From Their Own Expert | ZeroHedge
ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero

Earlier this week journalist Chris Rufo revealed that Kamala Harris plagiarized giant sections of her book on crime, after famed Austrian "plagiarism hunter" Dr. Stefan Weber found that "Kamala Harris plagiarized at least a dozen sections of her criminal-justice book."
In response, the New York Times bent over backwards (and forwards) to downplay their preferred candidate's cut-n-pastery - first casting it as 'conservative activist seizes on passages' from Harris' book, then totally lying about Rufo's reporting - which Rufo quickly debunked.
As part of their propaganda, the Times wheeled out plagiarism expert Jonathan Bailey, who said "his initial reaction to Mr. Rufo’s claims was that the errors were not serious, given the size of the document."
Except, the Times concealed the extent of the claims from Bailey - who writes in his Plagiarism Today blog: "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.
From Bailey's blog:ABC does fake fact-checks to help Kamala. CBS stealth-edits an interview to help Kamala. New York Times withholds evidence to help Kamala. This is endemic—and only visible now because we have X.

Bailey still refers to the plagiarism as nothing more than "sloppy writing habits, not a malicious intent to defraud."
Much like it's not "malicious intent to defraud" when a college student copies Wikipedia word-for-word, then gets expelled?
What's more, Rufo implored the Times to look at the entire claim - which they refused to do.
When the Times published its piece, I called the reporter and the editor to protest that they withheld evidence from their supposed "expert." The editor, Mary Suh, gave me the excuse that it wasn't their job to review the whole report. I hung up on her. pic.twitter.com/D7sQDpJS6P

SHE KEEPS GOING: This is a ninth instance of significant plagiarism by Kamala Harris. Although she cited the source, she copied long passages of language verbatim, without paraphrasing or putting it in quotations. It's textbook "verbatim plagiarism"—and not an isolated incident. pic.twitter.com/5uwWwRDxkt
