The vehemence and prominence and printing of his picture - that guy wasn't just shamed, he was lynched.

Oh, please. If one of your employees violated the alleged public trust so very egregiously, you'd tar and feather him too.

The best way to keep a man quiet is to lynch him. We're all hammering away on them, and him, but no one is asking the obvious question, its kind of like the pink elephant (no log cabin republican pun intended). Why the hit piece, why the need to destroy this guy with both guns blazing, and constantly re-loading? Why the need to make him look so rouge and out of control? They could have fired him, shamed him a bit, and made it look simply, like he was warned, didn't listen, did it again, and "we at the times don't tolerate this". When the LA times fired a photo guy for doctoring pics, they didn't do a hit piece on the guy. Blair also wrote for the boston globe, they didn't go all out. What is the Times afraid he's going to say?

Although Blair gets no sympathy from me, I tend to agree with your sentiments. The New York Times is far more to blame for this whole fiasco than is Blair. It was the Times which gave birth to, nurtured, coddled and finally promoted Blair.

And now the Old Gray Whore is doing everything in its power to keep that crazy rogue reporter Jayson Blair front and center.

Yep. Surprise, surprise, the The New York Times wants it to be crystal clear that the paper was a victim of Jayson Blair, while at the same time they shovel out the phony humble pie offering, "mistakes were made."
Pathetic.

Blair is the clown prince poster boy of affirmative actions, diversity and political correctness bundled up in one sorry pos.

However, The NY Slimes did the story about all of his personal problems to try and take away attention from the critical problem of the Slimes for 7 decades.

That problem is the Slimes lies, shields, spikes the trutn and uses their paper as propaganda tool for the left that includes socialism, communism and Islamofacism.

Just look at the documentation that we have on Free Republic since the 2000 election of the lies, half truths, no truth, mantras posing as news and other left wing propaganda posing as news.

The people who own, run and manage the Slimes are mentally ill people using their news paper to make their abnormal life styles/beliefs appear to be normal.

Now it is catching up with them. They don't work in a protected vacuum any more. The nation is waking up to what many of us have know for a long time. The NY Slimes is not capable of printing the truth or doing reliable reporting.
