LOL. No wonder the New York Times never has had interest in resume fraud.
Resume fraud extends throughout the New York Times masthead.

Why would a college degree be so important to be a damn sports columnist? I could write a better sports column than half those hacks and I don't even follow sports that much (except maybe NFL football)>

Why would a journalist leave The New York Times to move to Indianapolis in the first place? This doesn't sound like it was a step
up. I'd like to know why he left The Times in the first place.

Jayson Blair also went to U of Delaware, I believe, and also lied about his status as graduate. Weird.

Why would a college degree be so important to be a damn sports columnist?It's not. Most papers (hell, most employers across the board) just put the "requirement" in there to be elitist and/or to reduce the number of applicants. Fewer incoming resumes = fewer resumes to have to pore over. Plain old laziness.
But having written for The Times should have easily trumped any lack of a degree, especially if he put in most of the college time anyway. Freeman's problem is that he lied about it.

Maybe the Indy paper did what all employers should do and checked resume facts. That would bring this kind of fraud to a complete halt.
I suspect that Freeman learned in the culture of the Times that the truth isn't important. They're still running stories cut to fit the DNC party line, weaving and twisting with its changes. They're still featuring phony Charlie LeDuff after LeDuff has been exposed as a serial plaigiarist. He put someone else's story on Page 1 and they sloughed it off with a near-agate "correction" buried inside. They're still hanging on to Walter Duranty's Pulitzer, awarded for fabricated stories (that may not even have been fabricated by Duranty himself, but by his NKVD handlers). They're still standing by Iraq stories that have been exposed as fabrications.
They were reluctant to cut Blair and Bragg loose, even as both were exposed as plaigiarists. Integrity is clearly a foreign concept in Times Square.
But when you think about it, why wouldn't liberal journalists overlook resume fraud? Hey, if you stand for nothing, as do these papers, you'll fall for anything.

I'm with you there Sam. The left is obsessed with degrees, rather than knowledge.

University of Maryland. Journalism major. Rocky time as editor of student paper. Didn't graduate. Instead, went to work at the Times.

Old habits must be really hard to break for the pyschotic liars, who pretend to be reporters for the NY Slimes.

I believe it was the University of Maryland, in Blair's case.
