PLAGIARIZER AND FICTION WRITER AT NYT Read the Washington Post account of this "reporter" who simply wrote reams of fiction over a period of time and ask yourself if this isn't Affirmative Action run wild. Other reports indicate that the overall standards for accuracy at the Times are so lax that this young man, who was clearly not right for the job, was just one of many who are routinely printing "inaccurate" material. That the "white guys" are even worse. Paper is in a bad slide but their upper crust readership doesn't seem to notice.
