Fox loves Jayson

| 4 Comments

Disgraced ex-journalist Jayson Blair has been on three Fox News Channel shows already to plug his book about the New York Times, and has interviews set on the Fox affiliates in five cities, says Paul Colford in the New York Daily News. (L.A. is not mentioned.)

Blair, who plagiarized and fabricated stories at The Times, said he's been welcomed by some conservative broadcasters because his book, "Burning Down My Masters' House," allows them to discuss what they see as, in his words, "The Times' liberal social agenda."

Can we believe him about that -- or anything else?
