The (Jayson) Blair Pitch Project: Coming to theaters near you!
"All the News"
Young hotshot reporter JayCee Flair wakes up one morning to find himself on the front page of the New York Dispatch, the most highly regarded and influential newspaper in the world. But this time, he isn't covering the story. He is the story. Accused of plagiarism, fraud, and deception, JayCee must fight to clear his name and save his once high-flying career. But as sources disappear and substantiating evidence can't be found, JayCee must confront an even more chilling possibility: Is someone at the Dispatch out to get him? Who is his shadowy nemesis? Why would someone try to destroy the career of a brilliant and scrupulous young African-American newspaper reporter? In a swirl of charges and countercharges, amidst a national debate on affirmative action, and pursued by one-time colleagues in the media, JayCee must ask the most difficult question of all: If he goes down, who benefits? Written and directed by: Oliver Stone. JayCee Flair: Ice Cube. Howell Raines: Michael Douglas. Ann Coulter: Ann Coulter.

Written and directed by Nora Ephron.
"Who Da Man?"
The president of the Black College Republican Association, Jay Blair (Chris Rock), makes a bet with the president of the Black Student Alliance for Peace and Justice, Hakeem Williams (Taye Diggs). Just how incompetent can a young black man be before a guilty, southern white liberal has the courage to fire him? Just how low are the expectations that white liberals have for their black ...
