Remember Jayson Blair? Now, another name will go down in infamy at the New York Times. Lynette Holloway, another affirmative- action promotion at the New York Times, has resigned in the wake of the paper running its second-longest correction in history. That 2,175-word correction ran back on July 14. Holloways by-line has not appeared since. Now shes gone. The Times didnt want to draw any more attention to this scandal, and her resignation was disclosed by a competitor, Keith J. Kelly of the New York Post. He reported that Times spokeswoman Catherine Mathis said they had reached "an amicable settlement."

The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times are both continuing scandals. No need for updates until they both change their ways.

"Fabricating a story......faking news......inaccurate sourcing.......misleading information.....incorrect quotes......"
Other than that, this info babe was a veritable Brenda Starr.
Anyone here see the direct connection between this situation and what Rush was expounding about on that sports show.....and for which he was crucified?

Times spokeswoman Catherine Mathis said they had reached "an amicable settlement."Apparently, the Gray Lady is being held hostage by its own misbegotten diversity policy. A reporter writes bogus news, but instead of firing her, they reach a "settlement."
What a twisted mess.

On the occasion of the July 14th correction, Jego R. Armstrong, a reporter for The Wire, which covers the music industry, said, "The New York Times suffered another black eye yesterday as yet another writer was found fabricating a story, a la Jayson Blair. This time, the paper faked some rap music news, incorrectly stating that TVT Records President Steven Gottlieb had lost his own company during his battle with Def Jam and puffing the story up with several blatant errors." Armstrong noted, however, that, "This is not the first brush with alleged inaccurate sourcing by Lynette Holloway. In July of 2001, Stephen Krashen, a Professor of Education at the University of Southern California wrote several letters to the Times editors informing them of misleading information in several articles, including a July 31st article by Holloway, regarding Bilingual Programs."
Wrong! Holloway was attacked for getting the bilingual ed story RIGHT! Give the Devil her due. That fraud Krashen lies constantly in his support for bilingual ed. But don't take my word for it -- read the linked transcript. Note that Ron Unz is telling the truth.
Does Bilingual Ed make the Grade?
