Well this should make a few waves: N.Y. Times Uncovers Dozens Of Faked Stories by Reporter!

I'm shocked, SHOCKED! that such a thing could happen at the NYT! You mean to tell me that you can't always trust what you read in the Times? Shocked, I tell you.

Everyone is probably scrambling around trying to figure out how this could happen. My guess is that the dude wrote the sort of stories the editors wanted to read: probably full of schmaltz and drama and "human tragedy" and heart.

I hear "Mood Indigo" by Duke Ellington.
