Journalist's sins not an issue of race

Right. His "sin" is being a fraud.

Now, The New York Time's sin IS an issue of race.

Jayson is the poster boy for affirmative action; the NYT is the poster boy for liberal white guilt being hoisted on its own petards.

Howell Raines should be pistol whipped and run out of town.

Well put.

Exactly, Howlin!
"So apparently, Jayson Blair's biggest crime is not that he cheated and misled. It's that he cheated and misled while black..."

Wrong on both accounts: Blair's biggest crime IS that he cheated, lied, and stole (let's not forget those phoney expense reports). The NY Times biggest crime is that it aided/abetted and allowed that cheating to continue simply because he was black. It's very clear, no matter how the libs try to spin it.
