Plagerism is a big no-no in the world of journalism and in many colleges it will get you kicked out. With as much money as she pulls in, and given her position as a news anchore, she'd be a fool not to read WSJ. Anyway it was a producer who did it (and was rightly fired) not the perky one.

Thankfully, my kid's upper school teaches that plagiarism is wrong, citing sources and giving credit is right, one small step in the right direction.

Even though a something wrong might be rampant in society, it's still wrong. IMHO

...and then there's the problem of citing too well.
I've been dinged for citing a paraphrased sentence. Apparently, I was so far away from the source material that I'd moved into the realm of deduction and original thought.

You can't win.

And on some days, even punctuation is tough.
