This is how Shaun King responded to having it pointed out that two entire paragraphs were copied word for word from The Daily Beats without attribution:

A COMPLETE FABRICATION. I did not plagiarize this. It’s a direct damn quote.

It’s as if he’s trying to look guilty. If this was an honest mistake, why wouldn’t he simply apologize and say it was being corrected? Instead he attacked one of the people who pointed it out and accused him of lying.
