Stephen Glass

Steven Glass is one incredibly crazy man for attempting what he did. As a writer for a prestigious news source it was his job to report truthfully on what was occurring in the world around him. That being said i have trouble holding what he did against him. i think he was too likable a character to really fault him or hold anything against him for writing such ridiculous stories. he was ridiculously entertaining and as such he deserved his job as a story teller, he needed someone to ensure his stories were true though. glass didn’t seem to truly appreciate his position of power and was more concerned with telling great stories than telling the stories that were actually occurring. he was often on the right path but didn’t do the research or bother with finding actual sources and eventually lost his job because of it. Stephen Glass deserved to lose his job, he wasn’t researching real events and he wasn’t delivering correct information, therefor he did not deserve the job of reporter. stephen glass was an awful reporter but he was an incredible story teller that had an odd sense of what is ok to do and what is not ok. he never realized that what he was doing was truly wrong and as such i dont believe he should be hated for it, he should not be allowed to keep his job or continue as he had previous but he should be forgiven. he was not a bad person just a bad journalist.
