Fareed Zakaria was once suspended from CNN over a plagiarism issue. He had admitted to unintentionally copying parts of an article on gun regulation for Time magazine from a New Yorker article by Jill Lepore.

There were several sentences in Zakaria's column, "The Case for Gun Control," in the current issue of Time magazine that is similar to those in Lepore's essay in the New Yorker's April issue.

According to Variety, he apologized for the plagiarism on his CNN blog after it was brought to his attention by NRANews.com, National Review Online, and Newsbusters. He called it "a terrible mistake" and "a serious lapse."

He was suspended as a host of GPS for a month in 2012. But, six days after the incident, when Time and CNN reviewed his research notes, they found that it was an unintentional and isolated mistake. Thus, they reinstated him. 

But, in 2014, the controversy reignited as some news sources mentioned improper citations in seven of his article out of hundreds of columns he had written over the years. When The Washington Post investigated, they did find the problematic source in five of his columns. 

However, they denied that those errors were related to plagiarism. Following that incident, there is no other major news about him. 

Even at present, he is still a host of Fareed Zakaria's GPS show. However, he has been on vacation for almost a week, causing him to take leave from the show.
