Hey Zeitgeistacademic and popular culture and politics… for those at work, play and wit's end

Ever wonder where the junk in your average tabloid comes from? An enterprising British documentary maker seems to have found out, in excruciating detail. Armed with a portfolio of fake celebrity medical records, he set out to sell them to London’s greasiest rags. The Guardian has the story here, along with some great video. No, this sort of junk journalism isn’t academic plagiarism, and it isn’t selling an entire country on an unjustified war, but it’s still wrong, I reckon. Worth a look.
