Well.... hot on the trail of Stephen Glass and Jayson Blair, we now have Jack Kelley of USA Today.

The scandal is a familiar one.

Trusted reporter manages to always get the fantastic sources/stories and wins admiration. Colleagues grow skeptical. When asked for verification, abrupt resignation occurs.

it's interesting one of the main reasons why his bosses chose to not question the veracity of his reports.
QUOTE
In an interview last week, Johanna Neumann, then the foreign editor of USA Today and now at The Los Angeles Times, said she signed off on the arrangement in part because of her trust in Mr. Kelley. That trust, she said, was rooted to some extent in his openness with his colleagues about being an evangelical Christian.

I guess not everyone claiming to be an evangelical christian who talks about having Jesus in his heart is infallible. eh?

here's the link to the story

Hey, don't forget Rick Bragg (was that his name?), who was canned for using stringers' work and claiming it as his own.

Or plagiarist Ruth Shalit, who preceded Glass at TNR .
