ML-Implode News - Bloggers Will Print Anything, Or Is It The MSM?

A self-described "media manipulator" who served as an "expert" source for a slew of news outlets admitted he made it all up to prove that the media "will literally print anything." He also did it to promote a book.
Ryan Holiday, a 25-year-old marketing director for American Apparel, revealed his "experiment" in an interview with Forbes.com, where he's a contributor.
"I knew that bloggers would print anything," Holiday said. "So I thought, what if, as an experiment, I tried to prove that they will literally print anything?"
Holiday, who lives in New Orleans, said he enlisted in "Help A Reporter Out," a free service that connects journalists with more than 130,000 "experts" on a variety of topics.
So who are the "bloggers" he fooled?
