Not many people making big whoopee over this in the Drive-By Media, but Katie Couric does these essays, &#8216;Katie Couric\u2019s Notebook,\u2019 and I guess these are on the website. I don\u2019t think these are part of the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric because I haven\u2019t watched it since last September. (interruption) Good point: neither has anybody else. Anyway (laughing), the way these things happen is that she has a bunch of writers, and they have meetings, and talk about what would be a good topic, and the writers write these things for her, then&#8230; I don\u2019t even if they\u2019re video on her website or they\u2019re video, or are they just text. Well, yeah, because we got the audio. Yeah, they are video. Right, there it is. Well, it turns out that this Katie Couric Notebook, this essay on libraries was practically 100% plagiarized from a writer at the Wall Street Journal. So CBS has fired the producer that did this, but they\u2019re not naming him. This is the Katie Couric Notebook on libraries, and notice, she doesn\u2019t write these. Notice how this starts.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/katie_couric_plagiarism_scandal_.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"112\" class=\"alignright\"\/>COURIC: Hi, everyone. I still remember when I got my first library card browsing through the stacks for my favorite books. For kids today, the library is more removed from their lives. It\u2019s a last ditch place to go if they need to find something out &#8212; of course if Google doesn\u2019t turn it up first. Sure, children still like libraries but the books are not the draw. A recent study found kids use them more for DVDs, story hours, and computers than for checking out books. Many kids skip the library altogether and head straight to the store. Sales of children\u2019s books rose 60% from 2002 to 2005. It\u2019s an encouraging sign that kids value reading, but me tech-savvy kids never experience the joy of using the library shelves as a place to discover new worlds, and many students get to college clueless about the Dewey Decimal System. Your local library is still worth checking out &#8212; and, by the way, so are the books. That\u2019s a page from my notebook. I\u2019m Katie Couric, CBS News.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yip yip yip yip yip yip yahoo. &#8216;I still remember when I got my first <emphasize>liberry<\/emphasize> card I went to the library with such&#8230;\u2019 She didn\u2019t write it, a producer did, and totally plagiarized it. They\u2019re going to be the rid of the guy. Apparently these are videos, and they run on local CBS affiliates. They don\u2019t run on the network per se, and they don\u2019t run on the show. (interruption) H.R. just said, &#8216;At least CBS is improving. They didn\u2019t forge Katie Couric\u2019s essay.\u2019 (laughing) Good one! &#8216;At least they didn\u2019t forge it.\u2019 No, they just plagiarized it. They\u2019re moving up in the world at CBS News, the Tiffany Network. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: By the way, what do you bet, what do you bet that Katie Couric\u2019s next book is called &#8216;It Takes a Village,\u2019 and what do you bet that she goes on the Imus show to hawk it? <\/p>\n<p>END TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: There\u2019s a Drive-By Media scandal happening out there.
