The time honored tradition of lying and fabricating news continues with the Boston Globe and its owner, the NY Slimes.

Fake but accurate. There should be a law.

[Grampa Dave]

"U.S. media organizations have been hit with a series of high-profile cases involving plagiarism or fabrication."

"In 2003, The New York Times' top two editors, Howell Raines and Gerald Boyd, left the paper after it was disclosed that reporter Jayson Blair had fabricated and plagiarized material."

"CBS News, The Washington Post, NBC News, CNN, the New Republic magazine and USA Today have also been caught up in celebrated flaps over inaccurate reporting."

The fabrication of news and the lying about news continues it great tradition across our nation with the MSM.

But what the heck, this could have, might have or may be true, so her intent was good.

The Slimes and Glob .. like peas in a pod Bump

The "reporter" obviously has no bias. She was just under such huge pressure to get a story, she was forced to do anything necessary to have one. And we are supposed to blame the reporter? Gosh people, don't you have any sympathy?

[Liberator]

In 2003, The New York Times' top two editors, Howell Raines and Gerald Boyd, left the paper after it was disclosed that reporter Jayson Blair had fabricated and plagiarized material.

Just thought mentioning the New York Times as it relates to ANY "fabricated and plagerized material" should be mandatory at FR.

Baby Seal goes into a bar...bartender says "what'll ya have"...seal says, "Canadian Club, on the rocks..."

...the seal hunt began on Tuesday, with water turning red as hunters on some 300 boats shot harp seal cubs "by the hundreds."

I'm sure she could see the ocean from her hotel room. And the water does often turn a reddish hue at sunset. Anyone could have made the same mistake.

[Grampa Dave]

FYI.

The lying and fabrication of news marches on.

[cookcounty]

"Canadian Fisheries Minister Geoff Regan said his officials had called the paper to point out the error. "

Don't be surprised to see the Globe claim that they caught their own error.

[Old Professer]

Hey, you see one baby seal bloodfest, you've seen 'em all...

not to be confused with the fake anectodal happy homosexual stories they publish when attempting to push nomalization of the certain sexual fetishes or abnormalizing marriage.

[leprechaun9]

No surprise here! The Jayson Blair Slimes standards are alive and well in the fish wrapper industry.

Writer Fabricated Boston Globe Story on Seal Hunt

Excerpt:

BOSTON (Reuters) - A Boston Globe freelance writer fabricated large chunks of a story published this week, the newspaper said on Friday in the latest incident to embarrass the U.S. media.

The Globe, which is owned by The New York Times Co., said it stopped using writer Barbara Stewart because of a story that ran on Wednesday about a seal hunt off Newfoundland -- a hunt, it turns out, that had not taken place.

The Halifax, Nova Scotia-datelined article described in graphic detail how the seal hunt began on Tuesday, with water turning red as hunters on some 300 boats shot harp seal cubs "by the hundreds."

The problem, however, was that the hunt did not begin on Tuesday; it was delayed by bad weather and was scheduled to start on Friday, weather permitting, the Globe said in an editor's note.

Stewart could not immediately be reached for comment.

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.

"It's Bush's fault, she HAD to lie...yeah, that's the ticket..."

[Puddleglum]

Boston Globe alternative masthead suggestions: "We report the news BEFORE it happens!", and "We report the news that SHOULD happen!"

[rabidralph]

CBS News, The Washington Post, NBC News, CNN, the New Republic magazine and USA Today have also been caught up in celebrated flaps over inaccurate reporting.

And yet, Fox News Channel is always getting raked over the coals for being biased. Oh, I forgot, because there are no editorial inaccuracies, the MSM has to make up their own lies about Fox.

[JoeGar]

This story reminds me of last summer when a major magazine made-up coverage of the Republican Convention and erred by printing it before the convention began. What was the magazine, anyone remember?

[bmwcyle]

Look at all the money they save on air-fair.

[zerosix]

Don't tell me that Stewart is yet another graduate from a "prestigious" School of Journalism.

Is that what is being taught at these schools or do they just teach that the U.S. (meaning any Republican Administration) is evil and needs to be brought to it's knees at whatever lengths one needs to go, including but not limited to, fabricating (aka lying)about events?
