Or surprising. The paper has always tiptoed around difficult issues and played ball with the powers that be. The current handling of the outrageously blatant plagiarism is no different.

Blair is black--it's an ole white boy's network at the Newspaper. From beginning to end, their decision is fear-based, and THAT is quite evident. What company taunts it's own ethics? A quite and quick exit was due eight months ago--it's a small newspaper, and the editor doesn't run a tight ship? I don't believe it!

However, I am glad to see that the paper acted swiftly and decisively on this matter, that speaks highly about the editors there.
