NYT plagiarism consultant admits Harris scandal 'more serious' than he thought
Story by Lindsay Kornick • 10h
New York Times’ plagiarism consultant Jonathan Bailey released his "full analysis" of the allegations against Vice President Kamala Harris and found them "more serious" than he initially believed.
"At the time, I was unaware of a full dossier with additional allegations, which led some to accuse the New York Times of withholding that information from me. However, the article clearly stated that it was my ‘initial reaction’ to those allegations, not a complete analysis," Bailey wrote on Plagiarism Today Wednesday. "Today, I reviewed the complete dossier prepared by Dr. Stefan Weber, whom I have covered before. I also performed a peer review of one of his papers in 2018."
"With this new information, while I believe the case is more serious than I commented to the New York Times, the overarching points remain. While there are problems with this work, the pattern points to sloppy writing habits, not a malicious intent to defraud," he added.
