So the reporter was fabricating a story while sipping drinks in Hawaii....or pulling his hair out on an "important" story. With fast deadlines, I'm sure everything from embellishment to fabrication takes place. Throw in some liberal PC opinions and you have what the top MSM networks offer.

Another Mitch Albom. Facts aren't good enough; it's the story that counts and deadlines justify anything.

[Plutarch]

A story to remember the next time a MSM whiner clucks about blogs and forums.

But the one guy actually did die, no? It seems that is getting lost in the story-about-the-story.

I'd think the editors would have a little more control of their writers for one thing. Nobody seems to even know if this guy went to the school or not, he was SOMEWHERE at that time.

Ah, more ficticious reports from the MSM.

Paul Greeene, meet Greg Packer, the NYT's , "Man on the street".

"She posed nude for Playboy, but won't give her name to the L.A. Times?'' Dobin asked incredulously.

Now that was funny.

"...Please be assured that if there are additional problems with the story, the Times will report its findings when the review is completed."

Of course, a "review" must be performed before hands are quietly slapped (if at all) six months down the line.

Just the other day the Boston Globe announced they wouldn't be printing any more stories by a certain woman reporter because it was discovered that her piece was written before the actual event took place. They're already suffering from falling subscription levels.
