Is the NYet Times still getting quotes from Jason Blair’s “sources”?

To: a fool in paradise

... no, after firing him, the Times published a 7,239-word front-page story investigating what happened, headlined “Times Reporter Who Resigned Leaves Long Trail of Deception.” The story called the Blair scandal “a low point in the 152-year history of the newspaper.”

That, of course, wasn’t an issue of right- or left-leaning bias, but of out-and-out lying; combining discussions of the two makes it more difficult to get to the bottom of either (though I’m pretty sure the Blair thing has been all sussed out).
