I agree that he should be given a second chance. Now people are making other charges against him, which I’ll write about later.

Fareed is one of the modern journalist who keeps up with the world affair, and should be pardon for his past mistake, should be given a second chance.

I hope he has an explanation, but based on his apology I doubt it. Any professional writer should know to be careful not to copy anybody else’s work.

I can’t imagine. And why even consider doing it?

This is so sad. You’re right, he has lost credibility, even for an admirer like me. How can they think they’re not going to get caught?

I’m sort of waiting to see if he has an explanation. The examples I’ve seen could have been the result of sloppy word processing — e.g. copying someone else’s work into his notes, and then using the notes to write articles, but losing track of the source info, mistaking someone else’s work for his own writing. Not good journalism, but not quite the inexplicable twist it seems to be.
