Do you remember some years back an ace reporter for the Washington Post did a human-interest story on a young child in the projects. It was a heart-wrenching documentary on the lot of the poor inner-city black population. The series won the Pulitzer for its gritty incisive nature. The upshot was all the attention led to the articles being exposed as a fraud. The child was without a real-life counterpart, and the interviews were fabricated.

What am I saying? Just 'cause it's in the front section of a national caliber newspaper doesn't make it so. I'm not suggesting that this sort of libel is the norm, but there is a continuum between the straight story and this sort of piranha reporting. Y'all make the call.
