Fabricated? Did you read the whole Wiki entry? You've missed the whole point.
Thanks for the report. Stetson Kennedy was certainly one of my heroes.
The story failed to mention the controversy about how much of Kennedy's stories were fabricated. This is a serious omission for a program which spends so much term discussing journalistic ethics.
