Editor and Publisher did a survey of 527 randomly chosen newspaper journalists at 218 daily papers across the country.

The results? They weren’t so pretty and this particular statistic really stood out:

“More than half of the surveyed journalists reported working with “a peer involved in fabrication, plagiarism or other deliberate misconduct,” the survey stated.”

More than half? Geeze, there sure are a lot of Jayson Blairs and Joe Bidens working in the mainstream media.
