Board of Pomposity Writer May Have Stole Material From Others

Investigation by team of Board of Pomposity journalists finds blogger Brian committed frequent acts of journalistic fraud while covering significant news events in recent days; major findings are these: he filed dispatches that purported to be from Afgunistan, Patrickstan and other palces, when often he was in New York; fabricated comments, concocted anecdotes and lifted clever lines from other bloggers; also he selected details from photographs to create impression he had been somewhere or seen someone, when he had not; Board of Pomposity journalists uncover new problems in at least 36 of 73 post he wrote after he started getting national reporting blogging in Spring 2002; spot checks of more than 600 posts he wrote before Spring 2002 find other apparent fabrications, and that inquiry continues; The B of P asks readers to report any additional falsehoods in his work; investigation by B of P bloggers suggests several reasons why his deceits went undetected for so long: failure of communication among senior editors, few complaints from subjects of his articles and his ingenious ways of covering his tracks; some examples cited; most of all, no one saw his carelessness as sign that he was capable of systematic fraud. The fact that he was also the propietor of the blog he was used to publish is palagarized material may have facilitated to his reign of dishonesty.

This is all that I know and I swear it is the truth. I am very sorry, everyone.
