Shattered Glass

I just saw Shattered Glass again (see side bare of my list of great newsroom movies list). I got it to show students on my newspaper staff and we didn't quite finish it in class, so I watched the rest of it at home. It was just as good the second time. It tells the real-life remarkable story of Peter Glass who wrote for The New Republic and fabricated story after story. The amazing thing is that he didn't get caught. Hayden Christensen plays Glass as a smarmy and pathetic charmer. Other staffers are played by Hank Azaria, Peter Sarsgaard, and Chloe Sevigny.
