Washington: Amid fresh
allegations of plagiarism against celebrated Indian American
journalist Fareed Zakaria, the Washington Post -- joining Time
magazine and CNN -- has announced it will not run Zakaria's column
in August.
Mumbai-born Zakaria, 48, who became editor-at-large of Time in
2010 and hosted CNN's flagship foreign affairs show GPS was
suspended by the two media -- both owned by Time Warner -- after
he admitted to plagiarisng sections of his column on gun control
in the Aug 20 issue of Time.
The Post action against Zakaria came after it was reported that he
"appears to have also published without attribution" a passage
from a 2005 book, "Three Billion New Capitalists: The Great Shift
of Power to the East," by former Commerce Department official
Clyde V. Prestowitz.
In Zakaria's 2008 book, "The Post-American World", former Intel
Corp. chief executive Andy Grove is quoted as saying "America is
in danger of following Europe down the tubes, and the worst part
is that nobody knows it. They're all in denial, patting themselves
on the back as the Titanic heads straight for the iceberg full
speed ahead," Post reporter Paul Farhi wrote.
Prestowitz told the Post Grove made the comment in an interview
with him that was conducted while he was researching his book and
has demanded an apology.
Farhi said Zakaria has defended his book in an interview, calling
the allegation "totally bogus" because the book "is not an
academic work where everything has to be acknowledged and
footnoted".
He compared his technique to other popular non-fiction authors.
"Please look at other books in this genre and you will notice that
I'm following standard practice," he said.
"I should not be judged by a standard that's not applied to
everyone else," he added. "People are piling on with every grudge
or vendetta. The charge is totally bogus."
