Jayson Blair 2.0

If I remember the story correctly, New York Times fabulist Jayson Blair had lifted quotes from other news stories and then used them as if he had interviewed the sources himself. And New Republic fabulist Stephen Glass just invented people and entire companies out of thin air and then referenced them in his articles. I always wondered if such fabulists could exist in an age when Google has become ubiquitous. Now we know the answer to that question.

    i read that article yesterday and could only shake my head.

    there is no accountability on the part of “the bulletin” nor apology for all the content they have plagiarised.

    simply brazen.
