In mid-2001, Blair began blogging at Blogspot.

He has also worked as a journalist and senior editor at Time, Truth and Sports Illustrated, and has also written for Fox News.

Starting a few days after George W. Bush's visit to Baghdad during Thanksgiving 2003, Blair has documented and disproved claims that a roast turkey that Bush was photographed holding up was plastic. The roast turkey was real.[4]
