Madprof98, to suggest on no evidence WHATEVER that the author is like Jayson Blair is uncalled for. Jayson Blair was a liar and probably a cocaine or heroin addict, to boot. The author, regardless of her politics, may be a fine and honest writer.

Agreed, but I know one thing for certain ... I graduated almost 20 years ago from a college that was known to have one of the finest journalism schools in the country at the time, and yes, I was a journalism major. Some of my classmates have moved on to some high profile positions in the journalism community; Jason Blair, is the tip of the iceberg. While there are many fine journalists out there; there are also far too many "bad apples" out there, but, as in any professions, journalists are hesitant to "eat their own"

She's "fine" in the sense of "slick," but she is anything but "honest," as the content of the piece makes very clear.
