Liberalism long ceased to be about truth and more about whatever it took to look good, reality be damned. Jayson Blair and the New York Times tarnished credibility follows the recent CNN revelations. The rot that has long infected liberalism has finally shown up in the mainstream media, which fortunately has been in decline for sometime. The Blair fallout should help to hasten its demise as an influential opinion maker in this society and none to soon.

Amazing, isn't it, how when affirmative action hits a lefty's personal and professional buttons suddenly preferences become very bad and should be abolished.
Every journalist wishes he or she even had a shot at being a national correspondent for the NYT. When they find out that someone like Blair consistently was promoted ahead of them for what appears to be "diversity" reasons, the pain of reverse discrimination becomes very real.
Suddenly the lefties are clamoring for a meritocracy!
