Just two weeks after "This American Life" retracted it damning episode on Apple and Foxconn, the show has pulled three more stories produced by Stephen Glass in the late 1990s, The Washington Post reports.
Stephen Glass is a former New Republic writer who was fired for fabricating stories.
Steve Myers and Craig Silverman of Poynter first brought attention to Glass' stories while poking around the "This American Life" website in the aftermath of the Mike Daisey controversy.
Three days later, on March 23, a blog posted to the show's website explained that the stories were removed years ago but were placed back online during a 2010 website redesign.
Transcripts of the show will remain online, but the audio versions will be pulled, the post said.
