CBS was justified in firing Melissa McNamara for plagiarizing WSJ's Jeff Zaslow, says Timothy Noah, "but CBS News wronged visitors to its website by inviting them to think that the opinions Katie Couric expressed in these commentaries were her own." OUCH!: Noah says the Zaslow column lifted by the producer was "a bland public service announcement" that "bore no mark of original thought or genuine feeling. We journalists produce more of this crap than we'd usually like to admit."
