Writer Of The Guardian Article About Manafort And Assange Won Plagiarist Award Of The Year Here is the Guardian Article Image of Above Article And Author Here is a Newsweek Article About Luke Harding The first 2 paragraphs of the Newsweek Article says it all. "The Snowden Files: The Inside Story of the World's Most Wanted Man (Guardian/Faber & Faber, 2014) by Luke Harding is a hack job in the purest sense of the term. Pieced together from secondary sources and written with minimal additional research to be the first to market, the book's thrifty origins are hard to miss. The Guardian is a curiously inward-looking beast. If any other institution tried to market its own experience of its own work nearly as persistently as The Guardian, it would surely be called out for institutional narcissism. But because The Guardian is an embarrassingly central institution within the moribund "left-of-center" wing of the U.K. establishment, everyone holds their tongue.
