Manti-Myth

So, let me get this straight.  Manti Teo's girlfriend (who supposedly died right after his grandmother and on the eve of a big game) doesn't even exist.  And he's all the victim of some big hoax. 

Unexpectedly!

The press created the myth of Manti and built it up to Heisman proportions.  Now being duped, some of them are trying to find a villain to turn their attention to.  Hint: Find a mirror guys. 

Why...this sounds like some other great big myth that was pumped up to epic proportions which wasn't exposed until the very moment that it all collapsed.

Too Big To Fail

The story here isn't the hoax, but that the press fell for it, promoted it, and never questioned it.  It doesn't seem like there would be a lot of effort required to have broken this story open during the season.  Why is this relevant to the ideal of liberty?  Because journ-o-lists aren't much different whatever they're covering.  You won't see this happen often in politics-especially not in Washington.  So this is a rare chance to see the journ-o-lists exposed for what they are.
