5/07/2003 02:56:00 PM | Timothy More Stephen Glass The Washington Post has a story about Stephen Glass, who made up stories out of whole cloth. Like the New York Times story earlier, the final paragraph mentions a Times reporter who lifted some true material and claimed it as his own. I think the NYT had to mention that they had a reporter who they recently dismissed, but there is no reason for the Post to tack that on the end. The dismissed reporter doesn't deserve quite that level of association. Glass is in a class by himself, with only a few other reaching towards his depths. (UPDATE: I had only read about the NYT reporter's plaigerism, which while a cardinal journalist sin worthy of outright dismissal, doesn't put you in the '9th circle of hell with other people who just make shit up. But Howie Kurtz reports today on how the NYT reporter was Glass-like: Jayson Blair, the New York Times reporter who resigned last week after plagiarizing a story about a woman whose son died in Iraq, never talked to two other soldiers' parents he quoted in separate articles, the parents said in interviews this week.
