A staff reporter for The New York Times committed frequent acts of journalistic fraud while covering significant news events in recent months, an investigation by Times journalists has found.

I don't see how this is different than the conduct of any other Times reporter. Hell, John Markoff went on a fiction jag about Kevin Mitnick that lasted years and culminated with Markoff's claiming that Mitnick "hacked into NORAD"! (That lie has since gone unchallenged long enough by the Times that it's now considered truth, even though there is no truth to the claim whatsoever.)

Be surprised that there's lying, malfeasance, and unethical conduct at the Times? Hell, I'm surprised that the Times actually admitted EVEN ONE CASE of it!

They were forced to admit it. The small newspaper from which they plagiarized had already printed an expose and is threatening to sue.
