Shattered Glass Questions

1. What do the fact checkers at the New Republic do when they cannot find the information to verify?

They ask the reporter if they have any undisclosed source contact information.

2. How does Charles Lane feel about Glass once he discovers he is lying?

He does not respect him.

3. How does Glass gain the sympathy of his fellow journalists at the New Republic?

He has friendships with several of his co-workers. He is meek, and acts as if he was duped, or acting out of all the pressure being put on him, instead of outright lying.

4. How does Glass dodge the truth again once he realizes he has been caught by Forbes!

He has his brother pose as people on voicemails, and makes up the Jukt Micronics website.

5. What excuse does Glass give Lane for lying?

The pressure.

6. What is the argument for not firing Glass from the New Republic?

That others will quit.
