Columbia Journalism School Ethics Exam Cheated on by J-students.

The preposterous joke of a university whose reputation has sunk as low as the fortunes of its spectacularly inept football team, Columbia U., has a journalism school which is run by Nicholas Lemann, whose reputation as a journalist used to be peerless.

The Peter Principle of Yore has caught up with Lemann, and with the craven coward Lee Bollinger who is the President of this woebegone institution. Bollinger is an expert on free speech, but is keeping mum about the spectacular acts of radicals disrupting free speech on his campus.

This is an example of the hopeless decadence at many Ivy League institutions and of the general moral free-fall America is experiencing during the Clinton and even the Bush years, as a corrupt and biased media destroys all values and breaks every law and rule of ethics in its attempt to wrest control of the national agenda out of the hands of responsible politicians.

Rush Limbaugh had a lot of fun with this ridiculous situation today, saying that all the students were doing was the same thing that Columbia's Pulitzer Committee awards prizes for. Cheating and leaking and breaking one's word and lying are all part and parcel of the journalists of the WaPo and NYT and the corrupt civil servants and government officials they seduce and suborn.

Rush believed that despite the fact that the course is a ridiculous pass/fail parody of education, the students should all get an "A" for Attitude.

Attitude rather than ethics and hard work is what gets hacks to the top of their fields.
