OMG. Who has practiced “journalism” or “Journalistic standards” in the past few decades? WaPo, former home to Janet Cooke and Jason Blair, can hardly point fingers. Oh, but hasn’t it!

Ahh... Jayson Blair did his fabrications for the even-more-sententious New York Times, where he was the protégé of Executive Editor Howell Rains. The downfall of Blair also ended Mr. Rains' nearly 25-year career at the Newspaper Of All The News That Fits.

Newspapers exist to push the agenda of the legal industry, as in the Bill Cosby revelations. Preparing the groundwork for the next mega-lawsuit.

But I thought Blair was with WaPo before NYT? So many scandals, hard to track ‘em all!
