Since this film is a basic real event, after watching the film, I searched for news about the protagonist of the film on the Internet and saw the following report:

https://newrepublic.com/article/120145/stephen-glass-new-republic-scandal -still-haunts-his-law-career

This is the 2014 "New Republic" magazine reporter interviewing the protagonist of the film Stephen Glass. This reporter used to be friends with Stephen, but after Stephen's fraud scandal broke out, they have no contact with each other.

After reading this report, I am really impressed that the requirements for honesty in the American society are really very high, and the cost of serious violations of honesty is really huge! It can be said that you may have been ruined in your whole life, which is even more severe than the punishment of a criminal offender. After serving a sentence of this kind of offender, everyone may not look too differently; but look at this Stephen, he has finished studying the law department of a prestigious school, and still can’t To be a lawyer, you can only be a legal worker,

and, as stated above:
The first thing Stephen Glass tells new clients of his law firm is that he worked for a magazine where he lied, made up stories, and got caught .

every see a new client he would take his own experiences of this disgrace to say it again, this is how great pain!
