CNN: Ken Stein accuses Carter, doesn’t accuse Carter, resigns

Somehow this is news for CNN. And so goes another attack on Jimmy Carter. This time it’s about possible plagiarism. Evidently, there is a map that only Dennis Ross could have produced that is very similar to a map that is in Carter’s book.

And exactly what does this have to do with the content of the book? Klein is supposed to be upset with the direction of the book but doesn’t offer a single word to dispute any of it. He and CNN simply cloud the issues with background noise concerning a map, some accusations that were retracted and the official sounding conclusion that Dennis Ross’ publisher will be in contact with Jimmy Carter’s publisher.
