Cut from article:

Many remarked on the similarity of this scandal to that of the Jayson Blair situation at the New York Times, although given the greater prestige of the Times, the Blair scandal received more attention. In a sense, Kelley's fakery was more akin to that of Stephen Glass, in that both men fabricated compelling stories that drew national and political attention, rather than (as was chiefly the case for Blair) incidental facts. Further, some have blamed Kelley's inventions for fanning racial hatred and reinforcing stereotypes.

We need to identify:

Many (who remarked, etc.)
Some (who blamed, etc.)

Also the middle sentence implies that Kelley was worse than Jayson Blair. This may be so, but it's opinion (not fact). All points of view need attribution to their sources. Tell us WHO says Kelley was more like Glass than Blair. --Uncle Ed 13:23, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
