In 1999 Crowley allegedly plagiarized part of an article she wrote for the Wall Street Journal (August 9, 1999), called "The Day Nixon Said Goodbye". The Journal ran an apology the same week. Timothy Noah of Slate Magazine later wrote of the striking similarities in her article to phrases Paul Johnson used in his 1988 article for Commentary Magazine called "In Praise of Richard Nixon". Criticism was not widespread at the time, but it was repeated in such forums as the TheMediaDrop.com in December 2004, following her joining MSNBC.http://www.themediadrop.com/archives/003241.php
