With all the ass-kissing awards being given out these days, it's difficult to differentiate between genuine awards and mere marketing ploys. That is why we're proud to announce the Jason-Blair Award for Journalistic Integrity.

 

No, not "Jayson" Blair, "Jason-Blair." Jayson Blair (as you all know) was the New York Times writer who (as it turns out) fabricated about 70% of the crap that he wrote. After he was fired, he did what any money-grubber would do and wrote a book about how he was kept down by "the man." In fact, his book is called "Burning Down My Master's House." Funny title. Not only has slavery been illegal for nearly 150 years now, but Mr. Blair was not the victim of anything (other than his own penchant for lying out his ass). Fortunately, his book has sold about as many copies as the new William Hung album.

 

Our first Jason-Blair Award goes to a man by the name of Jimmy Breslin. Mr. Breslin is a crazed, left-wing writer for Newsday. And the fact that he's pushing 80 and still calls himself "Jimmy" should be a good indication of what this man is all about.

 

Breslin is alleged to have fabricated quotes from a conservative Christian reverend Lou Sheldon regarding how 'evil' gay people are. For the whole story, here is an excellent Howard Kurtz article in the Washington Post.

 

We'd like to congratulate Mr. Breslin for being the first person to receive the coveted Jason-Blair award. And no doubt there will be countless awards given out in the near future.
