You should be fucking ashamed of yourself. That’s not what “lifting language” means and you’re doing the work of a known liar and dirty tricks operative.
CNN reporting the details while also noting it’s not really an issue. The other option was to not waste everyone’s time on this obviously bad faith “reporting” from a partisan source.
You can't write "lifted language" when you don't know that that is true. In this case it is not true!
There's a reason headlines usually hedge. For this non-story it would have helped a little to not just make things up!
So what. You ignore the obvious -trump the rascist, lying, veteran hating grifter - and far worse about Dump and furiously search your archives for anything about Harris. The offenses are not the same so fuck you, CNN.
You have to be kidding with this. You went back and dug for something from 2007 and spent your time on that hoping this would persuade people to vote for Trump? GTFO you aren't even pretending to be journalists.
“Lifted language”? Are you accusing her of plagiarism? If so, be straight forward and not this ridiculous pretzel. Frankly, with CNNs record of carrying water for Trump I’m not surprised at all.
So your article actually goes on to note this was not ‘lifted’ from the attorney, who himself goes on to explain (!) they were both board members of the same organization, who likely drafted BOTH statements? Yet your headline remains and the article pretends this is news
When you don’t have real dirt, you just accuse the black woman of plagiarism.
It was scummy when you did it to Claudine Gay and it’s beyond forgivable how hollow and racist it is now.
*This* is what passes for journalism? This is Fox-level, weak-sauce clickbait. The hed doesn't even match the content (a standard bait-and-switch tactic, I know, but still...)
Years and years ago I trusted CNN as a neutral and reliable source of news. Those days have passed, as this article plainly demonstrates. Shame on you.
The guy allegedly plagiarized didn't even write it (per your story!!): "Logli told the Free Beacon that he remembers the organization researched and drafted his opening statement. He said the organization likely used similar statements to be consistent with its positions."
No. No. In context, this is not even a hint of plagiarism. It’s presenting a coordinated message. This is how a well functioning organization functions.
Dude, the other fucknugget is out there threatening the lives of anyone who doesn't gargle his balls. A little perspective is called for in this situation.
She didn't lift any language from him. Your story makes clear that there is no scandal here. The district attorney's association helped draft both their statements.
Ooh. Scary. Did she testify there were "enemies within", including sitting, elected members of Congress, and also say they plan to use the military to take care of those "enemies". Huh? No?

CNN is an enabler of the sociopath. #fauxrage
I actually think it’s hilarious that someone wasted a portion of their life writing this. Those 6 and a half minutes could’ve been spent shoving your hand in a blender - people would at least find that interesting.
We need a universal basic income so the people responsible for this headline can still feed their families even now that it’s apparent that they’re fucking useless Republican hacks and should never work again
Them and the New York Times. It’s embarrassing, like did they suddenly get far-right writers that got their journalism degrees from a Cracker Jack box?
Nothing nefarious happened here, you guys KNOW that, and yet you still used language to imply wrong-doing. This is why I never watch your shit network anymore!
Just here for the ratio. Maybe some of Trump's goons will read this article and decide to have pity on CNN and only murder half of the people who work there when their regime seizes power.
A legal organization using the same language to talk about a piece of legislation, something it is important to talk precisely about, in two separate testimonies is not "lifting language", it's "Staying on Message". The liberal viewers and readers you lose with this ish will never come back.
“Her prepared testimony lifted paragraphs from the prepared testimony of […] a Republican state’s attorney [and chairman] the National District Attorneys Association, who testified before the Senate two months earlier. The paragraphs use the same survey and nearly identical language to each other.”
I feel like we should start threadjacking CNN's crap stories with ones that actually matter, so when people come to an article like this one to complain, they get better news from better outlets.
Cool. What an absolute nonsensical, non-story. I wanted to drop the vulgarity over here on Bsky, but you fucking idiots are such an absolute shit stain on journalism it kills me.
unfollowing you CNN. this kind of crap is irrelevant when democracy is literally at stake. tell your owner he can stuff it, blue wave is coming, meanwhile, how about in depth reporting on the orange man and his dementia?
Her opponent worships and adores Adolf Hitler, and two of his most senior former military advisors from his administration have all but called him a Nazi
@CNN retract this nonsense now. This journalistic malpractice is inexcusable. When Harris uses language from a committee of which she was a member, it’s not plagiarism. Grab a brain and show some shame. You’re damaging your brand.
She's citing legal jargon as all lawyers do! How about this headline instead, "After offering to pay for the funeral of fallen soldier Vanessa Guillen, Trump got angry and said “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a f*cking Mexican! Don't pay it." No money was ever received for the funeral."

More firings incoming, I think.
oh, riiight … nothing ‘the woman’ does will ever be good, so she must be brought up on all charges by the ‘honest-broker’ ‘reporters.’
hmm, seems fascism deserves all passes though? about right.
Remember when you used to be respected?
Kamala ain't a sell out.
Pick some actual news to report, dipshits.
It was scummy when you did it to Claudine Gay and it’s beyond forgivable how hollow and racist it is now.
CNN has been total garbage for 20 years now.
I do not watch CNN or follow them on social media.
Just to be sure.
OH. Wait.

doo doo
i have plagiarized this post
But congrats for propagating a dishonest smear from the Free Beacon without checking.
Be embarrassed.
This is what you're devoting coverage to, two weeks ahead of Fascist Incompetent Felon vs. Status Quo Cop.
Be ashamed.
I don't know which is worse. that republicans have only one line in their playbook or that it works
It is difficult for me, using mere language, to adequately express the degree to which I don't give a shit.
The media: "is this journalism?"
You want her to just add random dingbats and doodles to mix it up?

Do something useful and report about Trump’s refusal to pay for Vanessa Guillén’s funeral expenses.
This is conservative bias. You should be ashamed.
