Remember a few weeks ago when the public was led to believe that George Harrison was dying of cancer? A story denied by George, and former manager George Martin, whom the story was attributed to?
Well, here's an update on it from Salon:
"Anyway, now we hear (via www.salon.com) that one James Desborough has been fired by something called the World Entertainment News Network (WENN) after admitting that he took a reporter's mundane interview with Martin, jazzed it up with invented quotes about Harrison's health, and sold it to a London paper, The Mail on Sunday.
Then, Salon says, the Mail further enhanced (my emphasis) the quotes. "
Anyone who perpetuated such cruelty deserves far worse than just firing, in my opinion.
