I just read one of the comments and it says about the part about Stephen Glass did his fabrications and Google didn't exist then, but he still was caught. Also, the part of Jayson Blair doing this when he had two mentors who didn't know how to work Google. But seriously, with this guy, you can't get away with fabricating or plagiarizing a story when there are search engines that can verify the sources. After watching Shattered Glass, it amazed me how Stephen Glass managed to make up sources as he went along, even going so far as to doing a not so credible website and using his own brother to pose as a chairman for a non-existent software company.

It's a shame, Journalism as an industry always takes a lot bigger hit from these stories than any other industry because, while fraud and dishonesty happen every day in every industry, in journalism their mistakes are published. So when someone does something like this, it destroys the credibility of the entire industry, whereas when an automotive engineer fudges safety data, no one ever finds out.
