What Ails the Media
The press needed there to have been a rape to keep the story going. It
was much too dull to consider that the lacrosse players deserved the
presumption of innocence.
Of course, there is nothing new under the sun, as I am sure you could find the same problem 100 years ago. But it does give one perspective when the MSM tries to go all high and mighty on us, particularly the always arrogant NY Times, which cheer-led the virtual lynching and went out of its way to prop up the failing DA's case when nearly everyone else was starting to see the holes in it. The Rutgers basketball team got an apology from the media figure that slighted them. Don't expect the same treatment for the Duke boys.
M. Hodak:
This was the last straw for me with the NYT, the reason I ultimately cancelled our subscription.
