I am surprised this story is getting so much attention as I have never heard of this guy
Me too, seeing as how you are the sole bell weather for all things that get reported on.
I guess the real story is how sloppy journalists are these days. No one even checked out any of his story and just wrote articles about him in major magazines.
A large part of the reporting on this is definitely reporters who are angered that they were duped.
It is funny to me now to see all of the reporters tear apart Manti's story with all the facts that show why she obviously doesn't exist when none of them questioned the facts as they were reporting them, my favorite being that she had luekemia, died and he never went to her bed side or her funeral. They all knew that then, but all they chose to report on was his courageous performance in the game.
I really hope this is just a bad decision by a 21 year old that got out of hand and became lie on top of lie, and I compel any journalist who casts a stone in his direction to take a long hard look in the mirror and ask themselves, what could I have done differently?
