Just google on "fairbanksing Big Shame in a Small World", "Eve Fairbanks hybrid my ass" and "stupid racist reporter tricks". One of their writers moved up from reporter/researcher to Assistant Editor by fabricating quotes, attempting to bait people, failing to disclose to people that she was interviewing them for publication and just flat lieing. For a good example of the last one "fairbanksing Big Shame in a Small World" is a great example where a TNR Assistant Editor, while writing for The Examiner, took a New York Times story about victims and turned them into monstors, of sort. You might be able to find some similarities between that style and what happened in these stories too. The New Republic was doing this, with much more mild topics, last year.
