FREE WRITE ON ETHICS
I FEEL THAT WHAT THIS MAN DID WAS WRONG. PLAIN AND SIMPLE. YOU CAN'T SUGAR COAT THE TRUTH. I BELIEVE JOURNALIST HAVE A BINDING CONTRACT TO TELL THE TRUTH, NO MATTER WHAT. DO WE SEE THIS BEHAVIOR HAPPENING MORE AND MORE? YES. TAKE A LOOK AT SOCIETY AROUND US. INSIDER TRADING, BLOOD DOPING, AND EVEN FICTION IN JOURNALISM. EVERYBODY WANTS TO GRAB THE BRASS RING BUT WHO WANTS TO PUT IN THE HARD WORK. I FIND IT FUNNY THAT THIS JOURNALIST WAS GREATLY TALENTED AND IF HE WOULD OF PUT IN HALF THE AMOUNT OF WORK HE DID IN FABRICATING THOSE STORIES , THE TRUE STORIES WOULD OF BEEN JUST AS GREAT IF NOT BETTER. ALOT OF PEOPLE DO WHAT HE DID IN TRYING TO CAPTURE THE GRAND PRIZE, BY TAKING SHORT CUTS. IN HIND SIGHT , HE PROBABLY WOULDN'T OF DONE IT, BUT ISN'T THAT THE WAY FOR ALOT OF PEOPLE. ONLY TO GAIN THAT PERSPECTIVE AFTER THAT SOMEONE IS CAUGHT, NOT BEFORE. IT'S A  SAD COMMENTARY OF SOCIETY BUT ALTHOUGH A TRUE ONE.
