JACK KELLEY VS. JAYSON BLAIR, PART II: Joe Gandelman weighs in on this subject and adds some interesting comments to my own. As Joe points out, Jack Kelley doesn't seem to have had well-placed advocates within the editorial staff, a la Jayson Blair. Whereas such advocates defended Blair despite initial indications of his deceptive behavior, no one seems to have gone to bat for Kelley. Thus, there are grounds for arguing that the Kelley scandal resulted from the dishonesty of a single reporter whereas the Blair scandal reflected the presence of institutionalized ethical deficiencies at the New York Times.

Now what about the blogosphere's response to the Kelley scandal? Calpundit (Can I still call him that? --ed.) and Atrios have argued that conservative critics have demonstrated far less interest in the current scandal because it doesn't further their ideological interests. On the other hand, Ed Driscoll reports (after consulting Technorati and Memeorandum) that 25 blogs, many of them conservative have been following the story.

Now, I wouldn't go as far as to say that there is no ideological dimension here. But the real issue is that USA Today just isn't the New York Times.
