Is The London Times credible? No amount of job pressure could produce a liar like this. This guy was willing to cross that line long before he cam to the times. How sad.

The article that gave Blair the most amusement was his account of the reaction of the family of Jessica Lynch, an American prisoner of war in Iraq, to the news of her release. It was datelined Palestine, West Virginia, and described how her father “choked up as he stood on the porch here overlooking the tobacco fields and cattle pastures”.

“That was my favourite,” Blair mocked after he had been found out. “The description was so far off from reality. I just couldn’t stop laughing.”

He had written it all from his flat in Brooklyn. Blair admitted that he was “a total cokehead” and boasted that he had “fooled some of the most brilliant people in journalism”.
