Daily News columnist blames ‘editor’s error’ for lifted material

Daily Beast executive editor Noah Shachtman accused New York Daily News columnist Shaun King of plagiarizing two paragraphs from the Daily Beast in his latest column. King and the News blamed the plagiarism on an "editor's error."

King's Tuesday column, about the death of Elliott Earl Williams, includes two paragraphs that are identical to an earlier story about Williams' death written by Daily Beast reporter Kate Briquelet. King's column even reproduces a typo — "the Tulsa sherriff office's appeared to disagree" — that originally appeared in Briquelet's story. The original published version of King's column does not mention the Daily Beast article.

Another liberal phony.

It was the editor's fault for not catching the typo in the plagiarized material. Is that what Shaun King is saying?  :-)

They fired (https://www.buzzfeed.com/nicolasmedinamora/new-york-daily-news-defends-shaun-king-amid-plagiarism-accus#.crZeDD6dQZ) the editor.  Unbelievable.

I guess white privilege really does exist.

WTF? They fired him for not being aware that something was stolen from another source? I hope the next editor uses Google to search online for every single sentence that Shuan King writes.

Shaun King is so ugly, he has to pretend to be another race so people will listen to him.

The editor was supposed to recognize two paragraphs from one article among God knows how many 10s of thousands of articles churned out daily from 100s of popular NewMedia sources? That doesn't pass the smell test!

Round up the usual suspects.
