What?

The logic of the blogger's rant may be apparent to you, but I'm missing it.

Near as I can tell, the point is to apply a standard slander of the "mainstream media":

Somehow, I don't find it particularly shocking that the incubator for tomorrow's media elite houses at least occasional blatant disdain for propriety and ethical conduct.


Yet, the story's about Columbia "lowering the boom" on the minor ethical lapse of people who took a test early discussing it with people who took it later.

Wouldn't you expect "disdain for...ethical conduct" to manifest as turning a blind eye to ethics violations or sweeping them under the rug? How is applying punishment to make a point about ethics a sign of "disdain"?
