The way most mainstream networks are covering this is absolutely disgusting. First, it pains me to see them referring to "alleged plagiarism". Both his "thesis" and the works he plagiarized are available for all to see. It is not "alleged", it is an observed fact.
On top, or together with that, they spin the fact that the Mickey Mouse university that gave him the phd title kept his title. They didn't say he didn't plagiarized, they said there were "mitigating circumstances". But this is spinned into something like "they cleared him". On top of that, this is utterly absurd in itself. It means they do not know what an phd should be about. Also, the excuse itself does not make any sense. It is completely surreal.
And did not even mention the biography fiction part. These people should go to jail.
