In 2007, Jason Cherkis and Erik Wemple wrote critically of Waas in the Washington City Paper: “Certainly Waas has produced valuable journalism. This story is about the other stuff.” Severely criticizing the Wemple and Cherkis article, Matthew Yglesias wrote: “The resulting article by Jason Cherkis is just shamefully bad. Yglesias also wrote of Jason Cherkis: Frank Sennett wrote: “Whatever the merits of the story, the appearance of a conflict of interest dogs Erik Wemple, and Jason Cherkis comes off badly.” Jason Linkins has this to say: “Shorter version, Wemple’s “make it up as you go along” journalistic standards are, well, unique, to say the least.” Mark Judge wrote about allegations of fabricated quotes and scenes in articles by Jason Cherkis by others Cherkis had written about.
