Wait, I thought all these left wing media assholes claim they are more educated than everyone else, thus whatever they say must be true.
It may only be the second day of 2024, but reporter Matt Egan joined Tuesday’s CNN News Central and got in an early contender for quote of the year when he claimed that resigning Harvard President Claudine Gay has not been accused of “stealing anyone’s ideas” just “copying other people’s writings without attribution” because that, apparently, is a big difference.
After going through Gay’s inglorious last couple of months including her testimony on Capitol Hill where she couldn’t say definitively that calling for the genocide of Jews would violating Harvard’s code of conduct, Egan moved on to the plagiarism allegations.
He unintentionally hilariously claimed that, “then you layer on top of these plagiarism allegations where Claudine Gay has had to issue corrections, multiple corrections. Now, we should note that Claudine Gay has not been accused of stealing anyone’s ideas in any of her writings. She’s been accused of, sort of, more like copying other people’s writings without attribution. So it’s been more sloppy attribution than stealing anyone’s ideas, but nonetheless, you put all that together and you throw on top the political pressure and also the pressure from donors.”
Egan then moved on to discuss how donors are threatening to withhold money and Gay’s resignation is “a tough moment for one of the most prestigious universities in America. Its brand has clearly taken a very big hit in just the past few months.”
