Google Shattered Glass (Stephen Glass and his fabricated articles and the David Boyer plagiarism affair with the HWA and SFWA in 2007-2010. Then you might get this one.)
Look up the film Shattered Glass as this one was a film based upon an article; there's a meme that's created that's even more controversial known as "unfundy" this one has potential to get nasty.
In 1998 a lying prick from Highland Park fabricated articles and fake sources. Gets skewered by cult writer that hammered into another in 2010 for putting his name on shit that wasn't his; as the creative nonfiction piece mocking him invades fanfiction.net when a fool said, "Fan fiction is better than original written content."
