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.
Alarge chunk?! I'd say when you report that something happened that did not that's more than a large chunk; it's the whole thing!
"A Boston Globe freelance writer fabricated large chunks of a story published this week."
Haven't we seen this story before???? Old news -- NEXT!!
If she made up the entire story, how is that "large chunks"?
And "THEY" want to bitch about the bloggers!
We need "gatekeepers" to make sure things like this won't happen on the internet < /sarcasm>
We have sea lions and harbor seals crowded on 3-foot centers up and down the coast happily wiping out the salmon population.
So we have one government-protected species driving another government-proteced species to extinction.
The story has already been published, damage already done.
For many people, they read it, so it happened.
Emails & fund raising letters have already been sent concering this baby seal slaughter, the sea red with their blood.
