He definitely committed journalistic malpractice in the wrong era. There were still some standards in the early 2000s.

Well before that. Somehow, the pretence of standards still existed circa 2002. Especially given that it was the NYT who led the charge in misreporting such things as the communist revolutions in Russia and Cuba. If you go way back to the Civil War, they even trashed the Emancipation Proclamation.

I looked up Jayson Blair’s misdeeds. There appears to be no political slant to them. He plagiarized and invented to make his job easier, and he was caught.
You think the NYT wouldn’t hold someone like that accountable now? Why not?
Yes, something went wrong in the 1990s. Online media took off. Many sites copy articles from each other word for word, often without fact-checking; and when the same story appears in a dozen different places,
people tend to believe it. To what extent this - on top of deliberate deception - contributed to the current abysmal state of US politics is anyone’s guess.

Did the NYT hold what's-her-name accountable for The 1619 Project that was dubbed "fiction" by leading historians?
Did the NYT Jazmine Hughes, an editor for their magazine, accountable for her hateful, racist, bigoted comments? Her comments were on the order of being a KKK member only pointed towards Whites, Jews, Asians, and others...
Did the NYT do anything about executive editor Dean Baquet and his ongoing racist comments? Nope.
The NYT finally let Donald McNeil Jr. go after 150 staff complained about his blatant racism both at work and in print... But that took months.
Then there was the ultra-bigot Sarah Jeong the NYT knowingly hired only to face a tsunami of protests across the board and finally had to let her go even as they tried to stand by and defend her...
The NYT didn't do anything about Tom Wright-Piersanti, senior political editor, either. He has a long list of sexist, racist, and anti-Semitic tweets, e-mails, posts, etc., going back more than a decade.
The NYT is chock-a-block with bigots, racists, and assorted haters. But they all get a pass because they're good, dogmatic, Leftists and that makes their particular version of hatred perfectly okay. After all, they're hating the 'correct' groups and individuals...
