The least he could do.

His poor judgment and inferior supervision skills became evident when he try to blame Blair for the whole fiasco.

Giving a high school grad the job to cover the most important story in the country was not Blair's fault.

Blair was a HS grad only?

What the heck?

I have been wanting a summer job at the local newspaper here and am a college sophomore. I wrote some stories in HS that were pretty significant, dealing with national events etc. I wrote one story about the teachers at impasse over contract one year and had people come up to me many times saying the coverage was better than the local newspaper. People even read my article at the board meeting. But unfortunately, the local paper requires people with experience at professional papers. Now, I am friends and neighbors with the publisher, so who knows, but I am not trying for this year anyway since I am recovering from surgery and won't be able to work till early July or so.

This is a small town. Now something is seriously wrong if the NYTimes will take somebody off the freaking street. That is seriously messed up......
