Snagged it from LA Times but everyone has the story.

Perhaps it's time for the editors to do some major checking on what's really printed. This kind of plagiarizing should have been discovered directly.

The New York Times said its inquiry, conducted by a team of reporters, "found that Mr. Blair repeatedly violated the cardinal tenet of journalism, which is simple truth."
What? It is? No really? LMAO! This part really cracked me up.

One might wish that for a journalist to lie, become a criminal offense....would be fun to see how radicly the media would change [img]smile.gif[/img]

Edit: I just wish that guy had limited his crap to plagerism...but it is known that he just flat made things up on a regular basis...which I think is worse than plagerism.

Amen to that. LOL

Although I agree with you it would be easier to spot the plagiarized material. What I can't understand is how long it took for them to react upon this matter.

Ah, but people did complain about his lies. He said the Bush Administration interrupted the interrogation of the Washington Sniper just as he was about to divulge something important, naming only "anonymous law officials" as his sources. That was a flat out lie with malice aforethought.

Well just to clarify one of the questions that was asked..how long did they know? Apparently quite a while...over a year. The guy was an "affirmative action" hire, and each of his bosses at the paper wrote to management about this guy being a problem and that he should be canned..however top management failed to heed the guys supervisors advice. This is exactly the wrong kind of image for "affirmative action".
