"he boasted of his shenanigans at the Times, saying he 'fooled some of the most brilliant people in journalism.'"So-called "journalists" of the American "mainstream newsmedia" are saddened, deeply saddened by this incident.
The wary public sees all these people as a bunch of mendacious, self-deluding slobs serving a big "Liberal"/Democrat propaganda machine.
So-called "journalists", dazzled by themselves, atop their perches of self-righteousness and self-congratulation, are blind to the obvious similarities between themselves and Jayson Blair.
One difference however--"journalists" generally don't boast of their shenanigans.
Let's not forget that astute conservatives have always seen right through these self-serving liberals, and phonies like Blair. Conservatives have been constrained from speaking out b/c of the hateful PC atrocity and idiotic hate crimes laws.
Hate crime laws and PC causes chaos and protects liars and frauds like the Times and Blair. That's why they have served their usefulness and must be obliterated.
The self-same dumbos who religiously read the Times for (ahem) news are the pea-brains who were sappily duped by the Clintons, and actually voted for the two creeps.
New Yorkers put Hitlery into a Senate seat. How dumb is that?
