Der Speigel has just announced that one of their reporters Claas Relotius has admitted to faking many (possibly all) of the stories he has written for them. According to the NPR article below he has returned all the awards he received for his reporting.

In the case of one Minnesota town (Fergus Falls), which he did a 'special report on', two of the more liberal (Democrat Voters) locals have written their own response to his article and the caricature he made of the town.

And of course Fox News is pushing this for all it's worth.

And of course he now has his own Wikipedia page.

As to the consequences, well they are the same as with any other case of journalistic fraud, the stories have been posted online and will 'inform the narritive' for years to come.
