[Cicero]

I'm absolutely delighted. This story just won't die. And it's almost entirely the mainstream, liberal media that keep on pushing it. Obviously the see a chance to bring down the reputation of the snooty NY Times, and they just can resist piling on.

In theory I agree that people shouldn't profit by writing books about unsavory activities. But if they pass a law, I hope they do it after Jayson Blair's book comes out.

The more this mess can be kept alive and in front of the public, the better. Sure, we all know that the Times has done much worse things. But there's no accounting for what will be the straw that finally breaks the camel's back. I think this may be it. I don't see the Times recovering its reputation anytime soon after all this dirty laundry has been aired by gleeful liberals.

I agree; it's good that people are talking about it, for many reasons. BTW, Cicero, the law would allow OTHERS to write and profit from a book re the NYT and Jayson Blair.
Only Jayson Blair (and other Jayson Blairs in future such matters) would be prohibited from profitting. So, this matter will not die, even if such a law is passed now.
