The problem is he should have put this guy on the spot with photos and video and then write about how he got up in the middle of the interview and left. Asking easy questions and regurgitating the same stuff did nothing.

No, just an observer very disturbed by this development and its impact on an individual caught in the headlights of national scrutiny.

Really, who cares about bogus results being posted in the Master’s division?

This might be an inflection point in journalism. That a story of such insignificance is elevated to the once lofty heights occupied by The New Yorker seems a sad comment on the decimation of journalistic integrity that the blogosphere has wrought.

If, however, the justification for the use of overwhelming force of public approbation is to be the supposed misappropriation of funds raised for CF, surely more convincing evidence should have been brought to light before publication of the article.

Today, in response to an email from a reader who happens to be the father of a cystic fibrosis-afflicted child -- and who is properly outraged by Kip Litton's beneath-shameless exploitation of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, in all of its particulars -- I sent a contribution to CFF for 50 times the total that the Litton family has donated since 2004.

If you'd care to follow suit, in whatever amount, here's the site: https://www.cff.org/GetInvolved/ManyWaysToGive/Donate/index.cfm

The rest of you can continue to troll and posture.

yeah Singer needing to declare that he made this donation is strange. Is he competing with someone?

I found the New Yorker article entertaining and informative, but I agree with some of the other posters who asked "What's the point of it?" But I've felt that way about many of Singer's previous pieces.

How do you force somebody to tell the truth? There are thousands upon thousands of convicts that haven't confessed to their crimes. Guilty as hell, they still deny culpability. Many here are frustrated Kip wouldn't come clean, explain himself. Let it go, he's wallowing in the pit he dug now. Not all stories have endings that 'satisfy'. The plot line should carry the day; Kip lied about his serial cheating, the like of which has never been seen before, never once offering a plausible explanation for his actions. This is the tale of a man devoid of a moral compass.

Of course you can't force someone to tell the truth, but clearly this writer did not know which questions to ask.
