Second Chance?

" You won't recognize them and you may not remember his name but back in 2003 he was at the center of a national scandal. Here's our power player of the."

" No telling the truth to the best of my. Ability and my knowledge. But it's really up for people to take information and -- offer compare answers themselves."

" Jayson Blair talking about the truth the central issue in his life. Six years ago he resigned as a reporter for the New York Times after it was revealed he had plagiarized or simply made up facts and dozens of stories. The scandal brought down the paper's top two editors and show up the nation's media."

" I think that most people initially when they hear the idea of him being alive -- that kind of laugh. At that notion but when they think about it and they think and they if they combines an idea that I did actually learn and grow from my experience. It makes for excellence."

" We caught up with -- later this week at a small psychological counseling business in Virginia where he now works. Having spent years in treatment for bipolar disorder manic depression as well as alcohol and drug abuse. He now teams up would -- professionals to counsel people in crisis."

" Water. And dads prospective rules mom's perspective rules. And one of the things that the girl wants."

" Lawyer says at age 33 he's turned his life around. I was hesitant about reopening old -- of mine and canal give people the benefit of his terrible experience."

" If I wasn't the youngest reporter it was the second in this courtroom. Over and I think that was fair to say that you rom the Fastrack. Yes yes I think it certainly is fair to say."

" Blair joined at times in 1999. He says he started out wanting to help people but eventually convinced himself that meant he had to be a star. When did you start line that's really good question. Because -- says he got a quote from someone he knew was giving him a fake name he put it in the story anyway."

" Once I cross that apple one like so many ethical lines so much easier to."

" By the end Blair was supposedly writing stories from around the country. Without ever actually leaving his New York apartment at its core to me you know it's theft and its line. And it's. You know conniving behavior while Blair now says he was suffering from undiagnosed mental illness he refuses to use that as an excuse."

" Ultimately all that stuff aside the one thing that I can say for sure played a role in. It happening with my character that there was a problem with who I was how do you feel about where you want it. I feel good that the medications don't work all the time. I'm so there are periods where you know I am -- briefly for a while -- I am. Feeling down so it is hard it's hard to do it's difficult to do but I feel much better about. And tonight. Ultimately went to three. Or even ten years ago."

" Friday night Jayson Blair spoke to journalism students at Washington & Lee University. An eight album the big ethical decisions -- don't come what trumpets blaring but in small daily choices about what compromises you're willing to night. You can see more of the interview that Fox News."
