Most reporters don't make things up. I've never made anything up or taken anything out of context either. It just isn't done. The guy is your basic asskisser and slimy backstabber and he in no way deserves this. Not only is he a liar, he's not even a creative liar. He lifted others' crap!
Hopefully, Blair will go away and become the broken man he deserves to be. It made me super mad.
Sincerely,
A fellow reporter
I would second the last paragraph of the above posting.
Blair is a loser who will never get a real journalism job. Instead, he'll sell his story a few times and live an unfulfilling life as a fake reporter. I think I'd rather take the est. $50 per story I get and be able to not only look at myself in the morning, but be respected for what I do.
And I will add that in my 10-plus years as a journalist, I, too, have never made up a source. A word? Well, maybe. :)

"'He was running away from the accident - that's what made him stand out,' said a local resident, who was dressed entirely in felt and was smoking a pipe, the bowl of which bore more than a passing resemblance to Harry Truman."
The money will simply roll in.
Posted by: mygoditsraining at 7:40 AM, July 28, 2003Which magazines? I may have to write a letter in anticipation of the articles stating that not only will I never buy or read said editions, but will never buy any copies of the title(s) from here on out.
Posted by: Ferrick at 4:14 PM, July 28, 2003I believe one of them was Jane magazine. I can't remember the other one. They're doing it for "irony purposes" but that doesn't mean they have to pay him.
Posted by: brooke at 10:52 PM, July 28, 2003mygoditsraining: That is an excellent example, and I think our city hall reporter should work it into one of her stories about the council members trying to fire the mayor.
Ferrick and Brooke: Yes, one is Jane magazine. The other is Esquire. I am making sure I do not purchase their magazines.

Posted by: blackjack at 10:05 AM, December 12, 2004We must also suppose that before that time, the progress of reason will have gone hand in hand with progress in the arts and sciences; that the ridiculous prejudices of superstition will no longer cover morality with an austerity that corrupts and degrades it instead of purifying and elevating it. Men will know then that if they have obligations to beings who do not yet exist, these obligations do not consist in giving life, but in giving happiness. Their object is the general welfare of the human species, of the society in which people live, of the family to which they belong and not the puerile idea of filling the earth with useless and unhappy beings. by online gambling
