You’re a life coach?’ That makes no sense,'” Blair, whose journalism career crashed after the Times discovered vast instances of plagiarism and fakery in his work, told the Associated Press. “Then they think about my life experiences and what I’ve been through and they say ‘Wait a minute. It does make sense.’ ”
