Former New York Times reporter reinvents himself, instead of reinventing the facts.

Former New York Times reporter reinvents himself, instead of reinventing the facts.

“It’s not a lie if you believe it.”

That was George Costanza’s advice to Jerry Seinfeld who was trying to beat a lie detector.

Jayson Blair, former New York Times reporter, is now integrating that sage bit of wisdom into his new career as a Life Coach. He’s a life coach if he thinks he is.

However, Blair is uniquely suited to be a life coach because he’s led so many of them. For instance, he was a college student who “schmoozed” his way into a reporting job. And, he was also a victim of racial discrimination even though there’s evidence he had his job because of diversity hiring practices.

Besides being two people at once, he’s capable of being two places at once. As a reporter, he could cover a story even though he was hundreds of miles away drinking.

The article indicates that Blair will help with career counseling. Maybe he could offer some tips in creative resume writing?

Even Jayson Blair doesn’t have a chance at Truth Czar. Too much competition.
