Jayson Blair is working again

No, Jayson Blair hasn't been hired by the Associated Press (yet). The former New York Times fabrication expert/plagiarist is now writing for a magazine that focuses on bipolar disorder. Via the Boston Herald:

After a humiliating plagiarism scandal that rocked the New York Times [NYT], Jayson Blair is quietly resurrecting his journalism career by writing about the very subject he says brought him down: Bipolar disorder.

Blair, 30, has been lending his expertise to 3-year-old bp (bipolar) magazine. He wrote a first-person piece about bipolar disorder and the role it played in his downfall that bp magazine ran last year. ...

When asked if he worries that people might think he is plagiarizing again, Blair said, “Why concern yourself over something you cannot control? The bottom line is that if it rings true, it will reach people.”

If it "rings true?" In other words, if it sounds sufficiently true, that's what counts. Isn't that the attitude that got him in hot water in the first place? No matter. If he's revealed as a faker again, he can always blame it on his disease.

Further demonstrating his continued unwillingness to take responsibility for his own actions, look at how he describes his experience getting canned from his job for his transgressions:

When asked how he feels about losing a job at the New York Times, Blair said: “It was a terrible loss that I mourned and grieved and have accepted.”

As if it was akin to his dog dying.

I don't know much about bipolar disorder. I do know that anyone who would pay this guy to write seriously needs his/her head examined.
