The New York Times posted a list of corrections to 10 stories written by Jayson Blair. This one made me laugh out loud,
“The Coolest of Months, So It Seems”
April 29, 2000In this article, about unseasonably cool weather in April, 2000, Mr. Blair quoted Edmund Florimont . . .
Okay, that’s just weird. I can understand the motive behind making stuff up about the sniper case to land your stories on page 1, but Blair couldn’t even write a throwaway piece about unseasonably cool weather without resorting to his bag of tricks? That’s pathological.
