Go rent the movie Shattered Glass. True story of a TNR journalist who made stuff up and got caught. I was absolutely riveted because I read a lot of the people who were in that movie. Here's a good index of the whole saga.
One thing that I thought was telling was how his stories (at least the ones I saw on the movie and the ones I could get to online) had a huge left wing slant and yet they still didn't raise any questions amongst the fact-checkers. In particular, one about a bunch of Young Republicans who committed felonies during a convention. Bias, anyone? Of course TNR isn't exactly WaPo, but hey, Charles Lane works at WaPo now....
