This blog is meant to serve as an archive of the portrayal and coverage of the "Orient" on mainstream media. The "Orient" also includes the "Other." Let's point and laugh at the elementary analyses, sensationalist headlines, injection of exoticism, and reductionist coverage.

Will occasionally post links or excerpts of other people making fun of the mainstream media portrayal and coverage of the "Orient."

Orientalism-is-Alive would like to send out its sincere condolences regarding Fareed Zakaria’s TIME column

After it was revealed that he blatantly plagiarized* a paragraph from one of his recent columns, TIME has temporarily suspended his column pending further review.

We’re gonna miss Fareed Zakaria’s bullshit. To honor his legacy, here is a link to some of his bullshit we’ve tracked and archived for the laughs and the cries.

*Correction: He blatantly plagiarized multiple paragraphs LOL

#Fareed Zakaria
