Journal #10

So I guess I was one journal short. I was a little stuck, I didn't know what I was going to write about for this week, but then I realized I could use stuff from journalism too!

So last week we started talking about Steve Glass, this very talented journalist who worked for a major magazine company called New Republic. Everyone liked Steve, he was nice, talented, and not to mention.. very creative! No one could see anything wrong with this young rising writer, but the truth was his stories were good, just a little too good. Steve was making up facts, sources, quotes, people, and events. Steve was eventually caught for this after writing the story 'Hack Heaven". Even I read the story, and had to admit, the lead was perfect! But, it did seem a little too good to be true, and some of the quotes seemed phony. 

Anyway, I could never imagine doing that for myself, I would get tangled in my web of lies and lose which way is up, did I mention I'm a losey liar? ha ha. Plus, I wouldn't be able to live with the guilt. But, I have to admit, he was smart. That was a good idea, just had some down sides to it in the end. Yikes!
