The Narrative Journalism Magazine that was the start of the fabulist spree of Stephen Glass as he fabricated his sources in the mid-to-late 1990's. I studied the debacle to go double homicide with the taunting in the Shadow Dolls Plagiarism affair. My then room mate who was known for writing for Outburn and Chain D.L.K. rented the film based on the Buzz penned article from Vanity Fair. I had managed to pinterest the article and my facebook page exclusive as I caught a low-fi act from Boston trying to liken me to Stephen Glass as I called one of them a chomo as he was trying to say I was pretending to be a toughie as I pulled out a track of his album and a track from a compilation that I picked up on Bandcamp. I freight-trained the little fuck over his speaking ill of the Derleth family in front of me. He was the one who invoked a twitter war with me when I was active on the Cradle of Filth social network at the time. I have the blog tag "Plagiarism Scandals" as I was preparing to nail the SomethingAwful goon plagiarist for stealing my output along with Kealan's fanbase getting caught. In a PDF I wrote tweeting to VampireFreaks I pulled a demolition man move saying I am willing to reinstate Jayson Blair for one sole purpose -- go after the SomethingAwful plagiarist.
Reading about the Stephen Glass fabulist scandal on The New Republic as I saw the film in 2006 then ended up finding these fabrications floating around first hand. It helped me lay into the serial plagiarist David Boyer in what's now known as Shadow Dolls Plagiarism Affair. Boyer's plagiarism spree was longer than both Glass or Blair. Some in journalism circles saw The Cabbie Homicide as a frightening display of investigative journalism when it was written entirely from memory. In the era of the original events from 1993-1994, Chicago Tribune reported on the same subject for a good part of a year, from the murder to the turn of the subjects on each other then to the throwing the book at them.

The Chinese version of a banana republic. A fake communist socialist economy that is in fact capitalist in nature, whereby the country is operated as a private commercial enterprise for the exclusive profit of the ruling class.
China and many of the Global South countries that follow their economic example are merely bamboo republics.
