What in the name of all that's holy does wearing dentures have to do with anything? This is really weird.

What in the name of all that's holy does wearing dentures have to do with anything? This is really weird.See post 14; new cruelty gets it. I just didn't have enough room to list all the nasty adjectives I wanted to put after Blair's name, so I used the old - apparantly TOO old - Martha Raye joke.

"I was tired of listening to the other reporters joke about victims like the five children who were raped by a man in the Bronx," he writes, "or how black-on-black violence was just making the city safer for everyone." I would bet money that no other NYT reporter made such comments, especially about the children.

I would bet money that no other NYT reporter made such comments, especially about the children.You're absolutely right; this assh*le is lying through his teeth. When I worked at ABC and CNN, anyone who made comments like that in the newsroom would have, at the very LEAST, been hauled off for "sensitivity training." But more importantly, that's just not the way people that work in New York newsrooms think. That sort of crap is completely abhorrent to them.
There is a lot of mordid, tasteless humor in newsrooms - plane crash jokes, shuttle jokes, etc. But jokes about child rape and race? Not a chance in hell.

Anyone joking about child rape victims in my newsroom would be reamed a new anal orifice by the managing editor, at the very least, and probably fired.

See post 14 13 ... You have an obscure sense of humor, Timesink. That I got it leaves me 'deeply troubled'. : )

e was going out and reporting on something that needed to be fact-checked, that had reporting at its core, then there would be issues of credibility."Oh, okay...I see liars only lie about others, never about themselves. Didn't I read something about manic/depression? If he's manic, he will lie. Especially if he's selling something, like a book. Nothing in that book will be "the truth", it will instead be what he wants his readers to think of as "the truth."

I remember the commercial, but didn't make the connection.
I associated 'fake' teeth with 'fake' stories.

Best story yet. Unafraid to give truth to the lies of PC liberal race-suckups.

Jayson Blair will probably steal someone else's life story for his autobiography.

He must be a "hater."
