Jayson Blair has landed on his feet after being fired from the New York Times for plagiarism, making up quotes, and assorted other journalistic no-nos. His transgressions caught the eye of none other than Michael Moore, who hired him to write the script of Moore's next big documentary, Farenheit 911. Moore said:
With his journalistic talents and storytelling ability, he'll fit right in here with the rest of us. After all, it's the story behind the facts that matters, and Jayson has a knack for ignoring the facts to get to that story, and that's just what I need for my documentaries.
Hey, it could be true....

Michaal Moore, sharing the spotlight for creativity with anyone else -- nay, never.
Posted by: J Mike on May 12, 2003 10:50 PMI see the dream team as Michael Moore, Jayson Blair, Stephen Glass, Geraldo Rivera and Baghdad Bob.
Posted by: Joanne Jacobs on May 13, 2003 4:33 AMThat's great, Rich. :-) But as mentioned above, Baghdad Bob, the Master of Information, must be on that team.
