There's 16,800 magazines in this country, but only one calls itself the in-flight magazine of Air-force One. And that's the thrill of working at "The New Republic." You're underpaid, the hours are brutal, but when you write it gets read by the people who matter: presidents, lawmakers. Your work can actually influence public policy. It's an amazing privilege and a huge responsibility.

Stephen Glass reminds us that not all things put out by even the most respected media outlet can always be considered as absolutely truthful.
