Shattered Glass

Option One

Steven Glass showed that he might not be the model journalism at many times. When he says he pretended to be a behavioral psychologist to investigate talk radio coverage of a Mike Tyson fight, he shows he had lied in order to get a good story. Applying to law school might have been a back up plan in case he got caught. It might not have been to make his parents happy. When Michael Kelly finds he has misreported a small detail, Glass offers to resign. He does this to try and get out of The New Republic in case this mistake leads to an investigation that proves Glass has totally made up the entire story. I am also surprised that he got away with what he did for so long.
