No surprise to this story really. Blogs have more integrity (or at least they should) by always including links to the original stories.

Dublin university student Shane Fitzgerald posted a poetic but phony quote on Wikipedia... The sociology major's obituary-friendly quote – which he added to the Wikipedia page of Maurice Jarre hours after the French composer's death on March 28 – flew straight on to dozens of US blogs and newspaper Web sites in Britain, Australia and India. They used the fabricated material, Fitzgerald said, even though administrators at the free online encyclopedia twice caught the quote's lack of attribution and removed it. A full month went by and nobody noticed the editorial fraud. So Fitzgerald told several media outlets they'd swallowed his baloney whole... So far, The Guardian is the only publication to make a public mea culpa, while others have eliminated or amended their online obituaries without any reference to the original version...

And the fake quote?
"One could say my life itself has been one long soundtrack," Fitzgerald's fake Jarre quote read. "Music was my life, music brought me to life, and music is how I will be remembered long after I leave this life. When I die there will be a final waltz playing in my head that only I can hear."
I don't know about you, but I have a picture in my mind of that kid from the Simpsons going, "Hah Hah".
