Mitch Albom, one of the most decorated sports columnists ever and a best selling
author, has been busted for fabricating information in his latest Detroit Free Press column. Albom has
apologized, but this has set the
sports journalism field abuzz, many happy to the star of the Freep squirm. The President of
The National Society of Newspaper Columnists has called the column "bogus" and an "egregious ethical lapse."
Others wonder why he wasn't suspended or fired, thinking his status as an author and TV / radio personality is allowing him special favors. The Freep has started an
investigation and may look into previous articles. To top it all off, here's the pot calling the
kettle black.
