Zakaria keeps his job. Unacceptable. Plagiarism is a firing offense. It is not a journalistic lapse; it's plagiarism. I'm glad to see ethics are important to CNN and Time; it was plagiarism, even per Yale's standards.
Unacceptable CNN and Time. This is really disappointing; you're supposed to be journalists, act like it. So, now you know. Nothing wrong with stealing ideas. If you're famous enough.
CNN + Time should hire Jonah Lehrer if they'll keep Zakaria; at least Lehrer doesn't steal other people's work, he just makes it up.
