A NY Times reporter is forced to resign over allegations of improper reporting:

Jayson Blair, the New York Times reporter who copied portions of a Texas newspaper's story about a woman whose son died during the war in Iraq, resigned under pressure yesterday.

"The Times apologizes to its readers for a grave breach of its journalistic standards," Executive Editor Howell Raines said in a statement. "We will also apologize to the family of the soldier . . . for heightening their pain in a time of mourning."

If this guy has to leave because of 'a grave breach of its journalistic standards', how come Krugman, Kristof, and Dowd still have jobs?
