Must be a slow news day today. It is sad that Drape who likely knows better is passing this BS off in order to keep his job and that rag alive.

I'm not sure that Drape does know better.

I do agree that this entire scandal was cooked up (with some help from the agenda pushers in this business) to promote himself in the face of layoffs in the newspaper business. I mean on the list of people to get cut, the sports dep't probably is axing the horseracing/high school sports guy first. He brought that Walt guy in to try to give credibility to the stories as if it wasn't just the sad editorial/op-ed crap that it really is.
