At W&L? This is a joke, right?

Just get Michael Moore to address an anorexic psychiatric ward and Rachel Maddow to host a panel on fashion and we’ll have the trifecta!

This abounds with riches. He works as a “certified life coach.” Being paid to tell
people how to screw up the chance of a lifetime, no doubt.

I’m not surprised when you consider that journalism is a dying occupation. Now they call them Bloggers.

Glad he’s at W&L and not my neighboring alma mater.

So, what evidence is there, from Blair’s response/statement to Wasserman, that he’s prepared to tell the truth?

“When I approached him with the invitation, he said that although he has not spoken publicly about the affair that led to his dismissal from the New York Times, this might be the right time and right occasion. My expectation is that he’ll talk not just about his own susceptibilities, but about the pressures and temptations that might induce ambitious and talented young journalists elsewhere in the business to do the wrong thing.”

Since he hasn’t talked publicly in any earlier venue, how does Wasserman know that Blair is prepared to ‘tell all’?

What if just continues to be what he always was - a pathological liar?

The “Journalist Ethics Institute” is probably a very small group. Who else belongs OJ Simpson?

Amazing. Anywhere else, a disgraced liar and fraud would be blacklisted from the industry but, on the Liberal Left, they are promoted and celebrated.

GAAAHHHH!!!!
The only positive difference Helen Thomas has ever made in anyone's life is make this guy look good by comparison.

Wiki:"Jayson Blair is the son of a federal executive...."

Pretty much explains the propensity toward playing fast & loose with the truth.

Jayson Blair appears to have been a overly ambitious, self-indulgent, (but talented) kid who was allowed by his superiors at the NYT to cut every corner and run amok. It's easy to blame him alone, but his editors are the ones who I think really deserve the scorn. They continued to reward him for his misbehavior in spite of warning bells going off all over the place which they continually ignored. Blair had youth, alcohol and drugs as an excuse -- what was their excuse?

Blair got caught too early.

If it were now he’d win a Nobel.

Why not, we have a president who won the Nobel Peace Prize despite not having done one single thing in foreign policy other than make speeches.
