Because if this were fabricated, Whitlock would be fired. His entire profession depends upon personal integrity, like appropriately using and citing/attributing sources. |

Unless you are Mitch Albom.

Fab Five?
Yeah, was there ever much of a reaction to that, other than snickering and embarrassment? I suppose he claimed being hopelessly naive? |

What Albom did was write a column as if his two interview subjects were at the Michigan State-North Carolina NCAA tournament Final Four game in St. Louis on April 2. In earlier interviews, former Michigan State players Jason Richardson and Mateen Cleaves told Albom they planned to attend the game, but they did not. Filing on Friday for a section that was printed by Saturday morning, several hours before the game, Albom wrote, and copy editors did not change, that Richardson and Cleaves had flown in for the game and were in the stands wearing Michigan State clothing. The column emphasized how much Cleaves and Richardson missed their college experiences. It turned out schedule conflicts kept both players from attending the game.

He's not a beat writer, so he's allowed his opinion. Journalistic integrity most certainly applies across the board. |

he's too lazy to even talk to mass....he just listened to the damn radio and wrote a column for the sole reason of using the phrase "egoli" a dozen more times.... a high school newspaper would be embarrassed to print it

You're letting your dislike for Whitlock cloud your reaction to this piece. The name calling, by Whitlock, has grown tiresome, though. |
