Whoa. You're the one who previously said, "I was only playing as you'd put in your quarter." Make up your mind(less), self-described hollow one. The NYT is about as credible as Jason Blair. Oh, I almost forgot. The NYT is Jason Blair. Jason Blair 'couldn't stop laughing' over Times' correction Associated Press NEW YORK -- Former New York Times reporter Jayson Blair said he "couldn't stop laughing" when the newspaper corrected his fraudulent description of an American POW's home in West Virginia, according to excerpts of an interview with the New York Observer. "That's my favorite, just because the description was so far off from the reality. And the way they described it in The Times story -- someone read a portion of it to me -- I couldn't stop laughing," Blair said in an interview scheduled for publication Wednesday. The newspaper made excerpts available to The Associated Press on Tuesday. In one of his few interviews since resigning from the Times on May 1, Blair told the Observer that he "fooled some of the most brilliant people in journalism" with his reporting. In a brazen act of deception, Blair wrote under a dateline from Palestine, W.Va., about the family of Pvt. Jessica Lynch, a POW rescued in Iraq. He described the family's home as overlooking "tobacco fields and cattle pastures." The porch overlooks no such thing and no member of the Lynch family remembers talking to Blair, the Times said in an extensive investigation into his work. The Times found fraud, plagiarism and inaccuracies in 36 of 73 articles examined between October and April.
