Liberal journalism is all about distorting the facts or just making them up to fit their agenda. It's been going on for years; Pulitzers have even been awarded to work that was pure fantasy pawned off as fact.
In a way I don't blame this young reporter for doing what he did--he was just emulating what his peers taught him and taking it to the next level.
"...he was just emulating what his peers taught him and taking it to the next level."He made the mistake of getting caught. He wasn't taught to do that. In fact, he had plenty of examples before him of what happens when even experienced reporters get caught -- at the Boston Globe, at The New Republic, etc.
