I'm sure we can get agreement to this statement by the
editors who employed journalists such as Stephen Glass
(http://slate.msn.com/id/2074/), Jayson Blair
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A27658-2003May7?la

(http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/day/04_17_2001.html),
Patricia Smith
(http://www.cnn.com/US/9806/19/globe.columnist.resigns/), or
Jay Forman (http://slate.msn.com/id/110932/)
