JC Bradbury had some words for Zimbalist in a post filled with words for Buzz Bissinger.

I saw the movie Shattered Glass about Stephen Glass who fabricated most of his stories.  It was made into a movie with Peter Saarsgard and Anakin Skywalker.  That movie was based on this article in Vanity Fair:

Note the byline.  It was a well-written article.

That said, I can do without all the snooty sneetches with stars upon thars.  They’re no better than the rest of us.
