Ex-Fox News analyst and Trump appointee Monica Crowley committed plagiarism in 2012 book: CNN

An investigation by CNN’s KFiles reveals that ex-Fox News analyst and Donald Trump appointee Monica Crowley plagiarized extensive portions of her 2012 book encouraging conservatives to reclaim America from President Barack Obama.

According to the KFiles’ Andrew Kaczynski, the conservative commentator, columnist and  radio host committed over 50 instances of plagiarism, including a complete cut and paste job on Keynesian economics taken from the Investopedia website, and provided no attribution or notes in the book.

In her 2012, “What the (Bleep) Just Happened?: The Happy Warrior’s Guide to the Great American Comeback,” Crowley is accused of copying the work of fellow Fox personalities, substituting a word or a phrase to change the passage slightly.

According Kaczynski, “Sections of her book are repeatedly lifted from articles by National Review author Andrew C. McCarthy, who is a friend of Crowley’s. Lines in her book also match word-for-word the work of other columnists, including National Review’s Rich Lowry, Michelle Malkin, conservative economist Stephen Moore, Karl Rove, and Ramesh Ponnuru of Bloomberg View.”
