 Gelf Magazine: More Fake Sources at Wired News
Wired News reports that, according to an internal investigation, one of the tech news site's writers faked info about some of his sources.

Since it is unlikely that Wired News has a higher percentage of unethical writers than other publications (after all, why should it?), the fact that two of its contributors have been found to produce bogus work in the last two years suggests it is better than other publications at rooting out cheaters.
