The events set in motion by Jayson Blair make the Times sound wildly out of control.

The events indicate that, while the NYT makes its money by selling news, its primary focus is not the news.

Ward Connerly was right. Ultimately affirmative action cheats legitimately talented and successful minorities because it calls into question the legitimacy of their achievements. This is profoundly corrosive and profoundly unfair. And it is precisely why the con artists and race hucksters hate Connerly so much.

Is this code for "being be branded a racist if he requires high standards for all reporters regardless of skin color?"

I've heard of "groupthink" but this is nuts.

Here the Times account becomes peculiarly obscure, perhaps betraying anxiety. It quotes Landman saying that the publisher and the executive editor "had made clear the company's commitment to diversity."

Unfortunately, there are times when that honesty suddenly disappears

The writer is off track here. The continuing problems with Blair hardly merit the label "sudden".

But, as Shafer concludes, "All that said, it's almost impossible for an editor to beat a good liar every time out."

That explains a lot about the Times attitude towards the Clintons.

Robert Fulford bump.

It seems like the old coot's just warming up!

I hope he writes for many years.

Yawn.

NYT lost credibility with me 30 years ago. Who didn't know they were a bunch of Liberal panyy weight Liars?

No NEWS here.

Move on.
