Chicago Sun-Times writer fired over fabrication

Paige Wiser, who had been at the Chicago Sun-Times for 17 years, was fired after writing a “Glee Live!” concert review which was padded with a discussion of a song that was not actually performed and of a song that Wiser did not actually hear. Although there is agreement among commenters that Wiser's actions were wrong, there is a mixture of opinion about the penalty.
